Marcus Maye has been playing in Jamal Adams’ shadow since the two were taken in the 2017 draft. But Maye charged out of it on Sunday with an Adams-type performance.

In his new role playing all over the field, Maye did just that, making plays against the Bills. He finished with 10 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. But Maye’s job only gets tougher this week.
