Ask Drake Maye what excites him most about his new teammates in Foxborough this season, and he’ll mention the frustration that comes with enduring one of the worst stretches in Patriots history.
The Patriots have lost 29 of their last 38 games since Jakobi Meyers’s wild attempt at a late lateral burned them in December of 2022.
There have been stumbling, bumbling losses, such as that one in Las Vegas. There have been numerous blowouts, including the 40-7 stomping that the Patriots took against the Chargers last year.
Maye hasn’t been around for all of it.
