Drake Maye is back with 5 total TDs in blowout Patriots win over Raiders

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye delivered a dominant performance in a commanding 45-17 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, silencing early-season doubts with five total touchdowns and no turnovers. After struggling through three weeks with just one touchdown and six interceptions, Maye rebounded with four passing touchdowns and a rushing score, including a 3-yard designed run that extended the Patriots' lead to 35-10 in the third quarter.

His efficiency was on full display with 26-of-34 passing for 374 yards and 11 yards per attempt, while also showcasing his scrambling ability with four rushes for 29 yards. The Patriots' offense, totaling 536 yards, capitalized on Maye's precision, with standout plays including a 35-yard touchdown pass to DeMario Douglas and a tightrope throw to Eli Raridon for a significant gain.

The win improved both teams to 3-2 records, but the Raiders' defense, previously ranked eighth against the pass, was unable to contain Maye's resurgence.
