BOSTON -- Drake Maye made magic happen for the New England Patriots in Week 9. But the 22-year-old also made his share of rookie mistakes, and the Patriots lost to the lowly Titans in overtime on Sunday. There was a lot of good from Maye in his fourth career start, and a whole lot of promise.
He showed no lingering signs of the concussion that knocked him out of last week's win over the Jets, and went out and ran all over the Titans. He was the same Drake Maye on that front, as he continued to be aggressive when there was an open field in front of him. He made some nice throws too, including an incredible toss across his body at the end of regulation to tie the game in dramatic fashion.
Maye was a magician on the play, showing off why hopes are so high in New England with the athletic QB leading the way. But he also had two throws that he really wishes he could get back. That included the game-ending interception in overtime, which sent the Patriots to 2-7 on the season.
Drake Maye makes magic happen on final play of regulation This is a play we're going to be talking about for a while, capping off a drive that we'll be talking about for a while. Maye and the Patriots took over trailing 17-10 with less than two minutes on the clock and no timeouts. He hit Kayshon Boutte for 11 yards on the second play of the drive to get the Pats to midfield.
He scrambled for seven yards on a second-and-1 two plays later, and then hit Hunter Henry for 10 yards on a fourth-and-2 to get New Eng.
