00:00The 2025 Patriots must be taken seriously after their 23-20 standing night win over the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park that took them to 3-2 on the season.
00:08That's already one short of their 2023 and 2024 win totals, and May has been a different quarterback under new head coach Mike Grable and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, back for his third stint as the England offensive coordinator.
00:21In five games, May has completed 113 of 153 passes for 1,261 yards, 7 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and a pass rating of 107.8.
00:31His EPA per dropback of plus 0.20, ranked 6th in the NFL, quite an uptick from the minus 0.07 EPA per dropback last season, that ranked 27th.
00:42May has been pressured on just 32.9% of his dropbacks, but it's not as if he's just chucking the ball quickly to avoid that pressure.
00:49Against the Bills, per ESPN Research, May completed 6 of 7 passes on throws of at least 15 yards downfield for 129 total yards.
00:57Those are career highs for completions and yards on those deeper throws.
01:02May also now has veteran receiver Stefan Diggs, who is absolutely thriving in this offense.
01:07Diggs, who played for the Bills from 2020 through 2023, was obviously comfortable in his old environment because he went off with 10 catches on 12 targets for 146 yards, and his connection with May is obvious.
