Drake Maye gave the Patriots a shot Sunday. The same can't be said for his supporting cast.
Briefly

"Have to be able to run the football," Jerod Mayo said after Sunday's loss. "Obviously, that was disappointing. I think Drake was probably our leading rusher today. You never really want your quarterback to be the leading rusher. And that's in all facets." Small running backs have done better this year, so the defensive line's prowess did not deter us from having trouble. Their defensive line did a good job. They were hard to handle inside, especially [Jeffery Simmons]."
"Maye gaining chunk yardage on the ground is starting to become a common occurrence during his rookie season in the NFL. In three of his four starts as the Patriots' QB, Maye has finished the game as the Patriots' leading rusher. The lone game where he didn't was during New England's 25-22 win over the Jets...and even in those limited reps, he still only finished two yards short of being the team's leading rusher."
