Drake Maye Throws 3 INTs in the 4th Quarter in Another Dud Against the Seahawks
Maye finished with 178 yards and a touchdown, but Seattle’s defense forced three fourth-quarter turnovers and sealed the win with a late end zone interception.
- On Wednesday, the New England Patriots surrendered a 10-point lead and fell 13-10 to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2026 NFL season opener, as quarterback Drake Maye threw three fourth-quarter interceptions at Lumen Field.
- After controlling the game for three quarters with a 10-0 lead, the Patriots' offense stalled as Maye's decision-making deteriorated sharply in the fourth quarter, with all three turnovers occurring during New England's final three possessions.
- Maye completed 23 of 33 passes for 178 yards and one touchdown but posted a 54.9 passer rating, averaging just 5.4 yards per attempt as the Seahawks defense sacked him three times and forced three interceptions.
- With the Patriots positioned in field goal range in the final minute, Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe intercepted Maye in the end zone, prompting head coach Mike Vrabel to state 'We want to be aggressive, not reckless.'
- Maye acknowledged his role in the loss, telling reporters 'I lost patience, and it cost us,' as the Patriots prepare to face the Pittsburgh Steelers at home in Week 2.
