Drake Maye’s wife Ann has giddy post for Patriots win with husband in snow

The New England Patriots cruised to a relatively smooth 28-16 victory over the Houston Texans on January 18, which sends them out West to face the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship game next weekend.

Patriots star quarterback Drake Maye was stellar in the victory. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception while adding 10 rushing yards on the ground. It was a much better performance than what Texans quarterback CJ Stroud produced, who threw for 4 interceptions in the defeat.

It ended up being the AFC's two top seeds who'll be facing each other for a trip to the Super Bowl. And while the Broncos are perhaps the most well-rounded team in the league, they suffered a brutal blow in their overtime victory against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, as Denver quarterback Bo Nix broke his ankle and will miss the rest of the season.

But that has nothing to do with New England. All they can do is play the team across from them, and next weekend's game should still be an all-time classic with or without Nix.
