Drake Maye faces a potentially advantageous matchup in his second NFL start against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars. After a rocky debut with the New England Patriots, where he threw three touchdowns but also three turnovers, Maye aims to improve as he prepares for the game in London.
The Jaguars, currently sitting at 1-5, have shown defensive vulnerabilities, as highlighted by former Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Jacksonville's coach Doug Pederson is under pressure to improve the team's performance amid concerns about mental mistakes and lack of toughness.
Additionally, the Jaguars are integrating two rookie defensive linemen following a trade of veteran Roy Robertson-Harris, while the Patriots are addressing their high penalty count and seeking to start games more effectively.
