Maye faced four of the best defenses in the NFL in the playoffs: The Chargers, Texans, Broncos, and Seahawks. He completed just 58.3% of his passes and had a passer rating of 82.2. Maye was sacked an NFL playoff record 21 times and threw four interceptions and fumbled seven times.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Maye's 82.2 playoff passer rating and 21 sacks undermine MVP narrative.

Maye's playoff performance last season was catastrophic: 58.3% completion, 82.2 passer rating across four playoff games against elite defenses (Chargers, Texans, Broncos, Seahawks); 21 sacks (NFL playoff record), 4 interceptions, 7 fumbles. In the Super Bowl specifically, he threw 295 yards (much in garbage time after Seattle built a 29-0 lead), 2 interceptions, 1 lost fumble, and 6 sacks. The source argues this performance, combined with his 0-12 record vs. winning teams, contradicts his MVP candidacy despite a 113.5 passer rating in the regular season against an historically easy schedule.
