Maye Hurt, DeVito Falters as Lions Rout Patriots in Munich
The suspected high-ankle sprain to Drake Maye creates immediate medical and roster questions for New England.
Overview
- Drake Maye left late in the first quarter after a sack in which Detroit’s Aidan Hutchinson landed on his leg, and Maye was ruled out with a suspected high-ankle sprain.
- Tommy DeVito replaced Maye and completed 12 of 24 passes for 81 yards with one interception and a late 10-yard touchdown, marking his first extended game action in roughly two years.
- The Detroit Lions dominated the stat line, piling up 494 yards to the Patriots’ 151 and winning 35-10 at Allianz Arena in Munich on Sunday.
- Hutchinson suffered a knee injury while celebrating the sack and did not return, and fans reacted sharply on social media to DeVito’s play with many fantasy rosters affected.
- The key next steps are medical scans for Maye and Hutchinson and Patriots decisions about quarterback depth and roster moves during their upcoming bye week.
