OK, now it’s time for the Patriots to panic about Drake Maye

On Sunday, Maye was largely responsible for ruining Vrabel's afternoon in the Patriots' 35-6 loss to Jacksonville , which felt like rock bottom (the Pats hope). Simply put, Maye was atrocious. The 2025 MVP runner-up was 14-of-25 for 199 yards, no touchdowns, two interceptions, three sacks, and a lost fumble.

It wasn't just that Maye was once again a turnover machine – it was the weirdness of his decision making. A particularly grievous error came on a third and goal with under a minute remaining in the first half. New England were only down 14-3 and well-positioned to shift the game's momentum. Then Maye threw the ball right to Jacksonville corner Travis Hunter in the end zone.

It's hard to comprehend what Maye was seeing or not seeing on that play. Given the ball placement and defensive reads, some social-media jokesters questioned whether he could even make out Jacksonville's teal uniforms.
