The New York Giants and the New England Patriots have a lot of history. Their Super Bowl encounters have been memorable, but they are in different eras right now, trying to start something new with their young and talented quarterbacks.
It remains to be seen if Jaxson Dart will be available for the Week 13 duel after missing the last two games, but Drake Maye is, and heâs eager to keep the teamâs momentum. The Patriots (10-2) are in the middle of a nine-game winning streak.
Ahead of Mondayâs matchup, Giantsâ linebacker Brian Burns made his thoughts clear on Maye.

During Tuesdayâs press conference, Burns discussed what he has seen from Maye during his young NFL career. Burns mentioned a couple of things that made Maye stand out after just two seasons in the league.
Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots.
âHeâs talented. Talented arm,â Burns said. âIâm not really too sure yet about how quick he is to process everything, but I do feel like he makes the right plays at the right time. He does seem to be poised, maybe a little bit too poised, in the pocket, but just overall, heâs been showing his talent, for sure.â
Maye didnât have the best rookie season with Jerod Mayo on the sidelines. However, he has turned things around under head coach Mike Vrabel and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. The Patriots boast the league-best record, and the inconsistent Giants look like a good opponent to extend their streak.
