New England Patriots first round pick Drake Maye got his first minutes in the NFL last night, as the quarterback came on for the final drive in loss to Jets.
Jets End Losing Streak To Patriots
The Patriots hadn’t lost a game at MetLife Stadium sine 2015 before Thursday night, but Aaron Rodgers led a masterclass this week to finally snap New York’s losing streak.
In the end breaking the losing record came very easily, as the Patriots struggled to land any real blows in week 3 during what was an extremely one sided affair.
Rodgers threw for 281 yards as well as two touchdowns, including his first passing touchdown to star New York wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

Drake Maye did earn his first minutes as a Patriot in the loss, but his NFL debut certainly didn’t go how he would’ve liked it to with next to no protection for the first round draft pick.
Maye picked up 22 yards from four completions on his debut however it is the three sacks on his opening drive that will be talked about the most in New England.
