"However, if the Patriots are unsuccessful, a look back at their season will show that may not be that big of a problem. Maye has been sacked a lot this season, but that hasn't stopped him from leading New England to a lot of wins. Drake Maye and Patriots still find success when sacked a lot Typically, when a quarterback is on the ground a lot, it's a disastrous game for their team."
"The second-year quarterback was the fourth-most sacked QB this season, being sacked 47 times. Ahead of him were Justin Herbert (54), Cam Ward, and Geno Smith, who were all sacked 55 times. The Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders each won 3 games, but the Los Angeles Chargers and Patriots still found ways to win a lot of games. An even closer look at the numbers shows that the Patriots aren't affected much in games where Maye is sacked a lot."
The Houston Texans possess the NFL's top defense and used it to post a 12-5 record and a dominant Wild Card win. The unit is strong at every level and is anchored by a dominant defensive line with two elite edge defenders. A destructive Texans pass rush can take over games and presents a major challenge for the Patriots and young quarterback Drake Maye. Maye was sacked 47 times this season, the fourth-most in the league, yet New England still produced many wins. New England has been 5-2 in games with four-plus sacks, 3-1 with five-plus, and 2-0 when Maye was sacked six times, indicating resilience under pressure.
