NFL Week 3 Winners and Losers: What has happened to Drake Maye? Pats lose and QB's struggles continue

The New England Patriots suffered a lopsided 35-6 defeat against the Jacksonville Jaguars, highlighting ongoing offensive struggles for twenty-four-year-old quarterback Drake Maye. During the game, Maye tossed interceptions to defenders Travis Hunter and Jarrian Jones, while teammate Romeo Doubs also saw a third-down pass fall incomplete.

Following another wayward throw that led to a Jacksonville touchdown, television cameras captured head coach Mike Vrabel delivering an encouraging pep talk to his struggling signal-caller on the sideline.

Maye has now endured a lengthy slump stretching back to the prior postseason, marked by a pair of opening-game interceptions against Seattle and an unproductive outing versus Pittsburgh. Compounding these individual difficulties, the New England offense has been forced to operate without wide receiver A.J.

Brown, who sustained a high ankle sprain during the team's opening contest and has been sidelined since.
