Rookie quarterback Drake Maye showcased his potential during the New England Patriots' 14-13 preseason loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, contributing to two of the team's three scoring drives and scoring a touchdown himself. The No. 3 overall draft pick completed 6 of 11 passes for 47 yards and impressed fans by leading a 10-3 halftime lead. However, the Patriots faltered in the fourth quarter, allowing the Eagles to rally and secure the win with a late touchdown and two-point conversion. Maye replaced an underperforming Jacoby Brissett, who finished with only 17 yards and an interception. Joey Slye kicked two field goals for the Patriots, while the Eagles' Jake Elliott matched that tally. New England managed a total of 11 first downs but struggled offensively in the second half, with only four coming after halftime.
