The New England offense took an enormous step ahead with Maye at quarterback as a substitute of Jacoby Brissett, as he wanted only one recreation to throw extra passing touchdowns (three) than the veteran did within the first 5 weeks of the season.
Granted, Maye is kind of uncooked, and he’ll make some errors, however that’s to be anticipated.
The Patriots had been affected person with the No. 3 general choose within the 2024 NFL Draft, and a few had been fearful they might break his confidence by throwing him into the hearth too early.
They don’t have lots of expertise at vast receiver, and a subpar offensive line, so Maye may be working for his life as a rule.
Then once more, with the expertise and bodily instruments he has, it solely made sense that they provide him an opportunity to showcase his expertise and get the rising pains out of the best way.
Perhaps he’ll even get his first profession win in London, because the Jaguars haven’t fared significantly better than the Pats this season.
