Overview

• Facing third-and-9 from their own 36, Drake Maye used a play-fake to Rhamondre Stevenson before hitting a wide-open DeMario Douglas for a 53-yard touchdown.
• The completion was Douglas’s longest NFL reception and the longest touchdown pass of Maye’s career.
• Douglas had only five receptions over the previous four weeks, yet his first-quarter score was already his second touchdown of the season.
• A later 61-yard Maye-to-Douglas touchdown on third-and-2 was nullified by an offensive pass interference call on Stefon Diggs that was widely labeled controversial in reports.
• New England sustained the momentum and capped the ensuing series with a 25-yard touchdown to Kayshon Boutte after a defensive pass interference call on the Saints.
