Drake Maye’s Sunday was an absolute disaster, leading the Patriots to a brutal 35-6 loss against Jacksonville. This felt like rock bottom, or at least New England fans are desperately hoping it does. Maye was flat-out atrocious out there.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
What a fall for the 2025 MVP runner-up. On Sunday, Maye went a miserable 14-of-25 for only 199 yards. No touchdowns. Two picks, three sacks, and a lost fumble for good measure. He was largely responsible for torpedoing Mike Vrabel’s entire afternoon. This isn’t just one bad game either; it’s the latest in a series of crushing lows for a player who was a revelation last season.
Vrabel’s Patience Is GONE
The writing has been on the wall. Even after their Week 2 win over the Steelers, Maye put up an uninspiring performance. Back then, Vrabel completely dodged questions about his quarterback, even joking with a reporter not to “ruin my Sunday” when asked about Maye. Well, guess what, coach? Maye definitely ruined it this time. That kind of frustration isn’t sustainable.
After a performance like that, and with Vrabel’s clear exasperation, you have to wonder where New England goes from here. They need answers, and they need them fast, or this season could spiral even further into the abyss.
