Drake Maye launched a massive 42-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs, putting the New England Patriots ahead 7-3 over the Jets with 4:10 remaining in the opening quarter at Gillette Stadium.
Maye’s Deep Shot and Doubs’ Worrying Exit
The Jets actually scored first today, but Maye quickly snatched that momentum back. He got a ton of time in the pocket on second down and perfectly dropped that 42-yard dime right into Doubs’ hands in the end zone. Talk about a statement play! But hold up, the moment took a scary turn when Doubs stayed down after the catch. He needed medical attention on the field before walking off the sideline with trainers. Fingers crossed for that guy, you hate to see it after such a huge score.
Jets Can’t Convert Red Zone Trip into Six
New York came out firing, putting together a strong opening drive that looked like it was going to end with rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper’s first career touchdown catch. But a flag quickly changed things up: Tim Patrick got busted for offensive pass interference while Geno Smith was scrambling. That cost them the score, forcing the Jets to settle for just a field goal. Their second drive? Poof! Gone in a puff of smoke thanks to some nasty sacks from Milton Williams and Christian Barmore. They just couldn’t get anything going after that first field goal.
It’s still super early in this game, but the Patriots have the lead and the Jets are already looking to regain their footing after those stalled drives. This one’s just getting started.
