Patriots' Drake Maye throws 40-yard strike for first NFL touchdown
Briefly

"Maye lofted a beautiful 40-yard touchdown pass to second-year receiver Kayshon Boutte down the right side with 11 seconds left on the clock. The play helped slice the Texans' lead to 14-7 and brought the Gillette Stadium crowd to life, as there had been little to cheer about up to that point."
"The second-and-2 throw came with the offensive line and running back JaMycal Hasty picking up a six-man Texans rush, giving Maye a clean pocket. Meanwhile, Boutte was one-on-one against cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. down the right sideline and had the ball dropped right into his hands at the 2-yard line."
"The Patriots entered the day struggling in similar situations at the end of the half, which added to the importance of the play -- and plays that led up to it. They had taken over at the their own 16-yard line with 53 seconds remaining until halftime."
