Count former NFL MVP quarterback Cam Newton among those skeptical of the Patriots' 9-2 start to the 2025 season. Just don't expect Drake Maye to pay much attention.

Young had himself a performance for the ages this past weekend, throwing for 448 yards and three touchdowns in Carolina's thrilling 30-27 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
