Josh McDaniels: Drake Maye doesn't have an issue with confidence or "yips"

New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels defended quarterback Drake Maye this week, pushing back against claims that the signal-caller is struggling with self-belief or experiencing the yips amid a recent on-field slump. Speaking to the media, McDaniels praised Maye's resilient mindset and steady demeanor, comparing his mental approach to that of a cornerback who must maintain a short memory after giving up a play.

Head coach Mike Vrabel also addressed the team's situation earlier in the week, as the coaching staff looks to resolve Maye's struggles ahead of an upcoming matchup against the Bills.
