Andrew Callahan: Patriots Need More From Drake Maye, Mike Vrabel After Season Opener
Drake Maye completed 30 of 46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Patriots' 20-13 loss, showing both promise and inconsistency in his second season.
- On Sunday, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 30-of-46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a 20-13 home loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough.
- Entering this year the New England Patriots were viewed as a trendy sleeper largely because Drake Maye showed promise as a rookie, but his second season leaves less room for mistakes amid regional expectations.
- Early in the game Maye missed wide-open targets to DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry, threw a halftime interception, took three sacks, and led no second-half scoring in six series.
- Head coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that turnovers and missed opportunities were decisive, urging precision and noting the game-management decision to punt with 4:53 left in a two-score game.
- Looking ahead, DeMario Douglas is positioned as Drake Maye's primary security blanket this year, and veteran Stefon Diggs is expected to be a key playmaker.
