In his first NFL start, rookie quarterback Drake Maye showed promise despite the New England Patriots' 41-21 loss to the Houston Texans. Maye connected with Kayshon Boutte for a 40-yard touchdown, demonstrating his ability to read defenses and control the huddle.
Despite two interceptions and two fumbles, Maye's performance included three touchdown passes and a season-high 243 passing yards, hinting at his potential to elevate the struggling Patriots offense.
