Welcome to Season 14, Episode 11 of the Unconventional Preview, a serious yet lighthearted, nostalgia-tinted look at the Patriots’ weekly matchup . . .
Get ready for the starkest contrasts in quarterback styles you’ll see all season, perhaps in the entire league.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is coming off a stirring road win over Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in which he had his lowest completion rate of the season (16 of 31, 51.6 percent), struggled early throwing a wet football, and yet enhanced his NFL Most Valuable Player candidacy with some sensational and clutch throws in a 28-23 victory, most notably a 54-yard bomb to Mack Hollins on a third-and-14 play in the fourth quarter.
