Patriots may lose Drake Maye's secret weapon days after AFC Championship
"The New England Patriots are back in the AFC Championship game for a record 16th time, as Drake Maye overcame some turnover problems against the mighty Houston Texans defense to throw three touchdown passes and guide his team to a 28-16 victory.

Passing game coordinator Thomas Brown is set to interview with the Los Angeles Chargers and is considered a potential Arizona Cardinals head-coach candidate. Brown has prior head-coaching experience with the Chicago Bears and experience under Sean McVay. Losing Brown would strain an otherwise inexperienced offensive staff and complicate replacement plans.
