His name was Drake Maye.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2gdcvs\">The rookie quarterback was forced to do it all for the Patriots against the Tennessee Titans \u2014 extending plays, picking up yards with his legs, fitting completions into tight windows. He ended the day with 301 total yards of offense. The Patriots as a whole finished with 295.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ElcJqN\">\u201cGuy\u2019s special, man. Just the way he competes, the way he plays, the way he continues to fight,\u201d captain Hunter Henry said of Maye. \u201cHe\u2019s very special. Got a lot of talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"PZrypO\">Maye\u2019s playmaking ability was highlighted in the final play of regulation, as the quarterback dodged defenders around the pocket for 11.82 seconds before finding Rhamondre Stevenson for a touchdown to help take the game to overtime.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UsAwQu\">It marked the the second-longest time to throw on a touchdown pass since 2016, trailing only Jayden Daniels\u2019 Hail Mary from one week ago.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0iDmT0\">\u201cThat\u2019s Drake,\u201d cornerback Christian Gonzalez said. \u201cNobody was surprised, honestly. Drake does stuff like that all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DRAKE MAYE MAGICCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa: FOX <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UvIB3dRi8k\">pic.twitter.com\/UvIB3dRi8k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New England Patriots (@Patriots) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Patriots\/status\/1853180878353990084?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"e5UOuN\">Maye\u2019s legs were a factor throughout the day. He helped bail New England out of penalties and a negative rushing attack, which included a 22-yard scramble on third-and-15 and 13-yard scramble on second-and-16 on the team\u2019s first touchdown drive.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DYquV3\">In total, Maye scrambled eight times for 95 yards \u2014 the most scramble rushing yards by a quarterback in a game this season. The 95 yards were also a team-high, marking the third time in Maye\u2019s four starts the rookie led the team in rushing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"aX8Gpr\">The one start he did not lead the team in rushing yards? Last week against the Jets, when he left the game on the third drive. Maye finished the game with 46 rushing yards, just two shy of Stevenson\u2019s team-high 48.<\/p>\n<p id=\"uxyKFJ\">\u201cHave to be able to run the football. Obviously, that was disappointing,\u201d head coach Jerod Mayo said after his running backs totaled just 15 yards on 12 carries. \u201cDrake was probably our leading rusher today. You never really want your quarterback to be your leading rusher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"j3yJOL\">While Maye nearly dragged the team to victory, New England unfortunately saw the downside of relying on a 22-year-old quarterback having to do it all. Maye turned the ball over three times \u2014 two interceptions and a strip sack, where he tried to escape the pocket before being taken down from behind.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HHn1sp\">The second interception closed the curtains on New England in overtime as Maye\u2019s deep shot to Kayshon Boutte was under thrown and picked off.<\/p>\n<p id=\"NO7F11\">\u201cSome decisions I made throughout the game that would have impact the outcome. Take that upon myself,\u201d Maye said. \u201c[The last interception was] a dumb decision. Something you\u2019d like to have back, especially in that situation. We can at least tie it up on our own 40. Sometimes the best play is to throw it away and that\u2019s a bad decision on my part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"4Co8GQ\">As the Patriots entered the season knowing potential playoff goals were lofty, they hoped to lay the foundation of their next contending team. The quarterback looks like a hit \u2014 especially to his teammates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Rdhj3c\">\u201cDrake is just phenomenal. He keep showing it week-in and week-out. I\u2019m very proud of him,\u201d wide receiver Kendrick Bourne said. \u201cWhen you got someone like that, it encourages you to go harder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"0WDqrx\">\u201cHe looks amazing,\u201d defensive tackle Davon Godchaux said. \u201cI love watching him on the sideline. I tell the guys all the time he looks like Josh Allen 2.0, and I played Josh Allen in Miami his rookie year, and he didn\u2019t look that good. And Josh Allen is a phenomenal player. He\u2019s an MVP-type player&#8230; Drake looks better than Josh his rookie year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"I7poRz\">Beyond Maye, plenty of work remains to be done to bolster the roster around him. But the quarterback has the ability to make everything easier moving forward, as Godchaux even noted players will want to play with a talent like that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Lj5ftY\">\u201cHe gives us a lot of potential to grow. I think that\u2019s the greatest thing about Drake. He\u2019s doing things you don\u2019t see at a young age,\u201d Bourne added. \u201cI think everybody understands in our offensive room that we have something in him that can make everybody better. He has that aura, you just know he\u2019s going to go out there and do his thing. He\u2019s going to play, he\u2019s not scared, and that\u2019s someone you want to follow.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maye amassed over 300 total yards of offense in the Patriots\u2019 20-17 overtime loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1221,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
