Patriots stock watch: Here's who stood out and struggled in dominant win against 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.

Chaisson has also played 68.3 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps, which is the seventh-highest among all the team's defenders, per Pro Football Reference.

Christian Barmore's 2025 return is making headlines for all the right reasons

The New England Patriots' defense overall had a solid game against Carolina. One player who's beginning to assert himself and is getting back into top form is defensive lineman Christian Barmore. While his stats are not earth-shattering, Barmore is starting to make a difference on the defensive line, along with his teammate, Milton Williams. The defensive line is generating solid pressure on opposing quarterbacks, led by edge rushers Harold Landry III, K'Lavon Chaisson, and defensive tackles Barmore and Milton Williams, the top free agent signee.

When we needed to get the drive stopped, we got the drive stopped. We had a plan to play these guys and how we wanted to play them."

Kyle Dugger's future with the Patriots suddenly looks painfully obvious

There have been a lot of questions surrounding the Patriots' defensive roster decisions over the last few weeks, most of which stemmed from the unexpected release of safety Jabrill Peppers days after the roster cut deadline. Throughout the summer, he had looked like a roster lock, as he was barely on the field during the preseason, only to be abruptly released and leave the Patriots' secondary vulnerable going into the season opener.
