Overview
- Maye led New England to a 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday with four touchdown passes and one rushing score.
- He completed 26 of 34 passes for 374 yards, finished just short of a perfect passer rating, and committed no turnovers or fumbles.
- Players and reporters pointed to improved pass protection and Josh McDaniels’ play-calling as key factors that gave Maye time to find DeMario Douglas, Hunter Henry and Kyle Williams.
- The outing continued a short recovery that began with last week’s win in Buffalo and marked the first time Maye threw three or more touchdown passes in consecutive games in his career.
- If Maye sustains cleaner decision-making and downfield accuracy, the Patriots stand to benefit as A.J. Brown nears eligibility to return and the team tries to turn this two-game lift into a longer stretch of wins.
