Josh McDaniels knows defenses are adjusting to Drake Maye. Now they must respond

New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels recognizes that opposing defenses are adapting their schemes to counter Drake Maye, requiring the offense to counter with adjustments of their own. The second-year signal-caller endured a difficult opening week against the Seattle Seahawks, giving away three interceptions during the fourth quarter of the defeat.

Despite that setback, Maye remained at ninth overall in Pro Football Focus rankings, though he dropped in evaluations published by FOX Sports.

Looking ahead to a Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Maye aims to bounce back and carry New England's attack. The squad is also contending with a significant setback involving A.J. Brown as they prepare for the upcoming clash.
