Negative signalMatchup

Maye faces career-high pressure rate against depleted Pats OL missing six starters.

Maye enters Thursday's matchup against Chicago with his career-high pressure rate at 26.2%, a 5% uptick from 2025. The Patriots' OL will be severely compromised, with three starters (Vera-Tucker, Brown, Moses) questionable and three more on IR (Van Roten, Owenwu, Bryant), forcing backups Caleb Lomu, Matt Pryor, and Walter Rouse into action. Lomu and Rouse have only ~300 combined career snaps. Maye has shown a propensity for going downfield (8.0 yards per attempt, 5th-best), but losing interior OL depth will make it harder to maintain protection on four-man fronts, especially against Grady Jarrett's disruptive play.
