Drake Maye posted a 99.8 QBR against the Jets on December 28, 2025 — the highest single-game figure in the recorded history of that statistic — completing 19 of 21 passes for five touchdowns as the New England Patriots rolled to a 42-10 win at MetLife Stadium and clinched the AFC East title. New England scored on each of its first six drives and held New York to zero red zone touchdowns on two attempts, while Brady Cook’s 29% bad-throw rate told most of the story for a Jets offense that generated just 143 net passing yards. Breece Hall’s 59-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter was the lone highlight for a New York side that fell to 3-13 on the year.

New York ended the regular season at 3-13 — four straight losses, each by double digits, in front of a home crowd that largely wore Patriots colors by the end. New England’s 42-10 win at MetLife was the final piece of a 13-3 regular season that ended with the AFC East title, a historic 8-0 road record, and a playoff run that carried all the way to Super Bowl LX before Seattle ended it 29-13.
