Drake Maye closed out Sunday’s season-opening loss to the Raiders completing 30-of-46 passes for 287 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
It was a a solid, albeit unspectacular, stat line for the second-year QB, who came up short against Geno Smith and Las Vegas, 20-13, at Gillette Stadium.
But Maye has received plenty of flak over the last few days due to his second-half struggles — with New England’s offensive futility down the stretch opening the door for Las Vegas to come away with the victory.
Entering halftime, Maye was seemingly in control of the game — completing 14-of-20 throws for 150 yards and a touchdown.
