He added 59 yards on the ground, including a 41-yard scramble in the first quarter. His one blemish came on an interception in the third quarter, but Maye&#8217;s pass took an odd deflection of Hunter Henry at the goal line.<\/p>\n<p>Maye&#8217;s performance was the catalyst for the Patriots&#8217; putting up 422 yards of total offense. But it wasn&#8217;t enough as the Colts scored a touchdown and converted on the ensuing two-point conversion with 12 seconds to win, 25-24.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kid was MOVINGGGG<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DrakeMaye2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DrakeMaye2<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEPats?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NEPats<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa: CBS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IFx4A8hDiN\">pic.twitter.com\/IFx4A8hDiN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; New England Patriots (@Patriots) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Patriots\/status\/1863287983215931793?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Understandably, Maye was upset with the loss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was heartbreaking.

They did a great job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we ran the football for a bunch of yards. I think we were efficient in the passing game, and just came up short. It&#8217;s a bummer.

We&#8217;re fighting hard, and just came up short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Maye also felt a bit more optimistic about their process following Sunday&#8217;s game, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we&#8217;re dynamic.

We have running the football. We have throwing it down the field. We have guys making plays, run after catch. There&#8217;s another layer to it of making more explosive plays, but we saw that a lot from our run after catch today.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What Drake Maye said of Patriots&#8217; red zone woes in loss vs. Colts<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3148297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3148297\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Drake-Maye-1.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Drake Maye sees next layer of Patriots' offense unveiled despite Colts loss\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3148297\">Eric Canha-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In some ways, Sunday&#8217;s loss might have been the most painful of the season for the Patriots in a year that they&#8217;ve gone 3-10. In many of their other losses, you could tell they lacked the talent their opponent had or they just had poor execution.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s game might have been the first loss this year where it felt like they truly let the game slip away. In addition to outgaining the Colts, the Patriots won the turnover battle as Anthony Richardson threw two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>What might have been the most frustrating element of the loss, though, was that the Patriots failed to capitalize on key opportunities. They spent a large portion of the game on the Cots&#8217; side of the field, making six red zone trips. But they only scored a touchdown on two of them. They mismanaged one of their red zone trips at the end of the first half which ended with Joey Slye missing a 25-yard field goal. There was also Maye&#8217;s aforementioned turnover.<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JB scooped it right off the goal line! <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa CBS <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YbfBlw2vS8\">pic.twitter.com\/YbfBlw2vS8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Colts\/status\/1863313496319930514?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both of Richardson&#8217;s interceptions also gave the Patriots the ball in Colts territory.

It was tough down there. It was tight. Tight windows. Tight throws. I have to give our guys some chances. I think that&#8217;s probably the biggest thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd penalties \u2013 I think one of them was penalties. We got back into, like, a first and goal from the 20.
