""The Patriots aren't going to go too fast," McCourty said. Josh McDaniels, the offensive coordinator, he has a last shot mentality. He wants to make sure they end this half with the ball." On the very next play, Drake Maye launched his longest pass completion of the day: a 39-yarder to Kayshon Boutte. "Next time I have NE I'll be sure to tell Josh and Drake I hate them for this lol," McCourty wrote on X after the game."
"Maye seemed to get a kick out of the timing between McCourty's words and his big play when asked about it on WEEI Monday afternoon. "Ha! No, I didn't see that. That's funny," Maye said with a laugh. "You're trying to score a touchdown, usually in the two minute scenario you try to get a shot deep to score a touchdown. We did the same thing last week in New Orleans. They gave us an opportunity and we took advantage of it.""
The Patriots trailed the Titans by three with under a minute left before halftime. CBS analyst Jason McCourty predicted New England would slow the clock because offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels prefers a 'last shot' mentality to end the half with the ball. On the next play, Drake Maye completed a 39-yard pass to Kayshon Boutte, his longest of the day. McCourty later posted on X that he would 'tell Josh and Drake I hate them' for the timing. Maye laughed when asked, said he hadn't seen McCourty's prediction, and explained teams often take deep shots in two-minute scenarios.
