What happened: Over his last four games in the 2026 regular season, Drake Maye, who flipped his touchdown-to-interception ratio from 1-6 in Weeks 1-3 to 9-1 in Weeks 4-6, averaged 299.5 passing yards and 3.5 total touchdowns per contest, per PFF. That stretch includes a Week 7 outing in which he completed 24 of 31 passes for 321 yards and two passing scores while adding 26 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, and one interception.

Why it matters: The four-week surge reversed a turnover-heavy opening month in which Maye threw six interceptions across his first three appearances, stabilizing his efficiency at a 7-to-1 total touchdown-to-interception ratio over the past month. Following Sunday's games, Maye sits fourth in 's NFL MVP rankings at 7 percent, trailing only the top three candidates at 32 percent, 23 percent, and 8 percent.

What to watch: Maye enters Week 8 of the 2026 NFL regular season looking to extend a four-game run in which he has averaged over 300 combined passing and rushing yards per appearance.
