Patriots' Maye Debuts in 24-3 Loss to Jets

Drake Maye made his NFL debut as the New England Patriots' quarterback during the final minutes of their 24-3 loss to the New York Jets, replacing Jacoby Brissett. Maye completed 4-of-8 passes for 22 yards, rushed for 12 yards, and was sacked twice during the drive that ended at the Jets' 7-yard line. Head coach Jerod Mayo has not committed to a starting quarterback for the next game, praising Brissett's resilience despite being sacked five times. While Maye showed promise, critics argue that the Patriots' weak offensive line makes it risky to start him. Maye expressed readiness to start and acknowledged learning from both the positives and negatives of his debut. Meanwhile, the Jets' dominant performance, led by Aaron Rodgers, highlighted the Patriots' ongoing struggles.
