NFL Legend Gives Patriots Unexpected Ranking After Week 6
Many in the NFL community are noticing the New England Patriots’ impressive start this season. Former quarterback Drew Brees has ranked the Patriots as one of the top five teams in his NFL power rankings.
Unexpected Ranking from NFL Legend
Brees placed New England at No. 5 during ESPN’s “First Take.” He praised their performance, saying, “I love the way Drake Maye is playing.”
Under the leadership of Mike Vrabel, the Patriots have become a big-play offense. Brees highlighted their strategy of running the football and using play action. “They are under center as much as anybody in the league right now,” he noted.
A Strong Start
This season, New England has shown significant improvement, partly due to Vrabel’s leadership in his first year as head coach and Maye’s performance in his second season.
- They made waves by defeating the undefeated Buffalo Bills in Week 5.
- Once considered an eight-win team, they now appear as potential playoff contenders.
Ranking in the AFC
Brees considers the Patriots the second-best team in the AFC. He placed the Indianapolis Colts at the top of the conference rankings.
Upcoming Challenges
The New England Patriots are set to play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. With the Titans undergoing a coaching change after parting with Brian Callahan, New England has a strong chance to secure their fourth straight win.
