"Maye finished 30-of-46 for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Week 1 loss to the Raiders, which established a career high for completions and yards. But by most accounts, including from Maye himself, it wasn't his 'A' game. What seemed to bother him most was a handful of throws he believed he should have completed. "Particularly ones where I feel like I had guys open," he said."
"It happened on the third offensive play when he airmailed receiver DeMario "Pop" Douglas on the sideline. He later was off the mark to Douglas in the end zone, as well as to tight end Hunter Henry, who was sitting in a gaping hole in a zone on the first offensive play after Maye's lone interception when he was hit as he threw."
Drake Maye completed 30-of-46 passes for 287 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, setting career highs for completions and yards. The Patriots sputtered in the second half, intensifying scrutiny of Maye's performance. Maye identified missed opportunities as the biggest concern, citing throws to open receivers that he felt he should have completed. He airmailed a sideline pass to DeMario "Pop" Douglas and missed other targets, yet also made several high-level throws showing poise and the potential that justified his No. 3 draft selection.
