Drake Maye's touchdown run has Patriots on the scoreboard

New England struggled to move the ball during their opening three drives, resulting in two punts and a turnover on downs. The offense found its rhythm in the second quarter, orchestrating a nine-play, 74-yard scoring march.

Drake Maye capped the series with a seven-yard scramble, though the score initially required a successful challenge from Mike Vrabel to confirm the ball crossed the plane. Tight ends Hunter Henry and Eli Raridon were instrumental in the effort, contributing gains of 16 and 15 yards respectively.

Maye currently holds an 8-of-10 passing mark for 76 yards, narrowing the deficit to 10-7.
