"Sure, there are probably speed bumps ahead. The Patriots ' schedule, with Myles Garrett and the Browns up next, isn't as soft as the perception. And we're not quite sure what their margin for error actually looks like against a good team. That's something we can only learn along the way, as this season plays out and we get a full sense of how they measure up against every level of competition."
"Drake Maye, who has ascended to superstar status in stunningly rapid fashion, completed 21 of 23 passes - a more efficient day than Tom Brady ever had - for 222 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while also running for 62 yards. The defense was relentless and opportunistic against rookie quarterback Cam Ward, and the Patriots took care of business, just as they have done for four straight weeks since the mistake-addled loss to the Steelers, which suddenly looks like a turning point."
The Patriots beat the Titans 31-13, securing a fourth consecutive victory and removing suspense early in the second half. Drake Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and added 62 rushing yards, delivering an exceptionally efficient performance. The defense attacked rookie quarterback Cam Ward with relentlessness and opportunism, contributing to a comprehensive team win. The team has improved markedly since a Week 1 loss to the Raiders, transforming a sloppy start into a best-case resurgence under Mike Vrabel. Upcoming opponents such as the Browns and Myles Garrett represent tougher challenges, and the Patriots' true margin for error against elite teams remains unproven.
