"The Patriots aren't going to go too fast," McCourty said. Josh McDaniels, the offensive coordinator, he has a last shot mentality. He wants to make sure they end this half with the ball." On the very next play, Drake Maye launched his longest pass completion of the day: a 39-yarder to Kayshon Boutte. "Next time I have NE I'll be sure to tell Josh and Drake I hate them for this lol," McCourty wrote on X after the game.

He was asked why he chose to attend local high school football game between Catholic Memorial and Xaverian on Friday night. "I heard it was a big game in the local area, I think [it was] two state champions playing," Maye said. "Just trying to support. It brings me back to those days when I was playing." Maye made the trip to Westwood after practice and before the Patriots headed to Nashville for a blowout win against the Titans.

Maye was about as good as it gets in this game. He completed 21 of 23 passes and moved the chains in a variety of ways. Deep ball to Kayshon Boutte? Check. Dropping dimes in the bucket to multiple receivers down the sideline? Check. Picking up first downs with his legs? Absolutely. Maye continues to display pinpoint accuracy as the Patriots' downfield passing game evolves. He was second on the team in rushing.

Maye's current 71.4 percent completion percentage on passes that travel over 20 yards in the air is ridiculous, and obviously not sustainable; the league average is closer to 40 percent. New England's offense could face some downfield regression as soon as Sunday afternoon's game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium (and it has nothing to do with the Titans' woeful defense).

New England Patriots Mike Vrabel is facing off against a Titans team that he coached for six seasons. The Patriots will look to make it four wins in a row on Sunday afternoon against Mike Vrabel's former team in Nashville. For Week 7, the Patriots (4-2) will take on the Tennessee Titans (1-5) at Nissan Stadium - with kickoff set for 1 p.m. You can watch the game on CBS, as well as listen on 98.5 The Sports Hub.

The best of the bunch and the team's leader in receptions is Stefon Diggs. In the Carolina and Buffalo games, Diggs seemed poised to break out as the Patriots' consistently top receiver. Yet, against the Saints, he had only three catches for 28 yards while Kayshon Boutte led the way with five for 93. Rhamondre Stevenson and Hunter Henry are the other two who've led the team in catches in games.

"I'm exited when he gets his next opportunity. I really am."

Playing quarterback in the NFL's Patrick Mahomes-Josh Allen-Lamar Jackson era must be pretty demoralizing at times. That trinity pulls off the impossible on a regular basis, which makes even very good QB play pale in comparison. To wrest even a bit of the spotlight from the big three takes something magical. On Sunday, Drake Maye did just that, leading his Patriots to a win over Allen's Bills with a game-winning drive that included one particularly awe-inspiring sequence:

Going into the 2024 NFL Draft, experts had numerous pro comparisons for Drake Maye that would certainly make him a person of interest for the Patriots as a prospective future starter of the offense after years of struggling to find the right quarterback for the job. One of the most notable was Josh Allen, who has taken the league by storm over the last five years.
