Drake’s “curse” strikes again as the Blue Jays lose to the Dodgers in the World Series, forcing a Game 7 after his presence.

The Pats' coaching is better. The culture has totally flipped. But, as Mike Vrabel often says, it’s about the players and how they perform.

That repetition, though — watching Boutte come down with the football time and again after Maye has launched it like a javelin — has built up a layer of trust that allows the Patriots quarterback to continue to give his best deep-ball wideout playmaking opportunities.

Here’s something that puts it all in perspective. Via NBC Sports research, Maye is one of only five players to ever throw for 200 or more yards with a passer rating of 100 or higher in seven straight games in a single season.

After the Blue Jays showed the Toronto rapper on the scoreboard, they scored the next 11 runs to take an 11-2 lead over the Dodgers.
