From the article

Drake Maye looked every bit like the franchise-caliber quarterback he is on Thursday. In fact, the entire pass game operation was pretty good against the Jets: two touchdowns plus 310 net yards and 9.4 per play... Maye completed 77.4% of his pass attempts for 321 yards, a pair of touchdowns and that interception in the end zone. Even putting that play into account, he finished with 0.34 expected points added per play — the same number as his Bears counterpart, Caleb Williams.

Maye's 77.4% completion and 0.34 EPA match franchise QB standard despite one INT.

Drake Maye delivered franchise-caliber QB performance on Thursday: 77.4% completion, 321 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 0.34 EPA per play (matching Caleb Williams' mark). The entire pass game operation functioned well with 310 net yards, 9.4 yards per play, plus 26 yards on three scrambles. Vrabel noted Maye "gave us a chance. He competed" and "found good places to go with the football," demonstrating the poise and decision-making expected of a franchise QB despite one end-zone interception he'll learn from.
