Patriots Bench Drake Maye After 4 Turnovers in 35-6 Jaguars Loss

3 articles · Updated · NFL.com · Sep 28

Summary

  • Tommy DeVito replaced Drake Maye in the fourth quarter after the Patriots quarterback threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles in New England's 35-6 defeat at Jacksonville.
  • Maye called the outing "unacceptable" and took blame as his season totals fell to one touchdown pass against six interceptions, with seven turnovers through three games.
  • New England's offense offered little support: A.J. Brown is expected to miss at least two more weeks, the offensive line is banged up, and the run game has stalled.
  • The collapse deepened concern around a Patriots team now 1-2, with Maye's confidence under scrutiny and a tougher test looming next week at Buffalo.
