Pats Pulpit on Drake Maye
From the article
Entering the fourth quarter, Maye had completed 17 of 22 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. His 5.8 yards per attempt was low, but purposeful... Then, the wheels came off. An unnecessary deep shot intended for Romeo Doubs into disciplined coverage, followed by too much aggressiveness on a third-and-long, followed by a head-scratching lack of situational awareness while in field goal range. Three passes, three picks.
STACKED’s take
Maye threw 3 INTs in final 3 drives after solid start (17/22, 127 yards, 1 TD through 3Q).
Drake Maye's decision-making unraveled in the fourth quarter, costing the Patriots the game. Entering the fourth quarter, Maye had completed 17 of 22 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown with a 5.8 yards per attempt—low but purposeful, as the Patriots' game plan was designed to keep him out of pressure situations. However, he then threw three interceptions on the final three drives: an unnecessary deep shot intended for Romeo Doubs into disciplined coverage, too much aggressiveness on a third-and-long, and a head-scratching lack of situational awareness while in field goal range. Maye acknowledged the collapse: "We had the game under control. I thought we had a good plan to try to start chipping away and be patient; I lost patience, and it cost us... [They were] decisions that cost us the game on my part." Head coach Mike Vrabel noted the recklessness: "We're trying to be aggressive and obviously win the football game, but not reckless."
