"I don't think you try to change it. I think last week, if you change it, Kayshon [Boutte] doesn't make the play. Little things like that are just knowing the time and place for it. Trying to get the ball out of my hand and just being cognizant of the edge rushers and taking care of the football is the No. 1 thing. If we have time and have a look downfield, you know me, I'm gonna take a shot."
"It won't be easy, with Denver ranked fourth in the league in points allowed per game (18.9) and fifth in yards allowed per contest (287.7). But with a trip to Super Bowl LX on the line, Drake Maye isn't changing his approach under center - especially when it comes to searching for explosive plays by way of heaves down the field."
Drake Maye will maintain an aggressive downfield approach against Denver despite the Broncos' top-5 defensive rankings. Denver allows 18.9 points and 287.7 yards per game, anchored by Patrick Surtain II. Maye emphasizes timing, awareness of edge rushers, and protecting the football as priorities while remaining willing to take shots when the downfield look appears. New England generated seven plays of at least 15 yards against Houston, including Kayshon Boutte's one-handed fourth-quarter touchdown. The Patriots have repeatedly faced strong defenses in recent playoff games and will rely on explosive plays to reach the Super Bowl.
