Drake Maye Struggles Passing, Excels Rushing in Patriots' Loss to Bills

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye experienced a 'down day' as a passer in Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills, throwing for a season-low 155 yards and failing to throw a TD pass for only the second time this season. He appeared tentative and less accurate with a -2.1% CPOE. While his struggles through the air may have been weather-related or due to Buffalo's defensive looks, he remained remarkable with his legs, contributing to the red-zone attack and delivering his third and fourth rushing TDs of 2025, also making a key block. Maye was briefly mentioned in early Week 16 betting lines as a pick to win MVP.
