New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye shared his thoughts after the team’s 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
The rookie got things done both through the air and on the ground. He went 19-of-23 passing on the afternoon for 202 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
It was a rough day for the offense considering they didn’t score a point for the first three quarters. However, they mustered 14 points in the fourth quarter via a shovel touchdown pass and a rushing touchdown by Maye.
“It wears on you, for sure. It’s frustrating,” said Maye, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “A long flight back and you can’t do anything else but just think about the game. Watch the game on your iPad and think about ways I could maybe, throughout the week, talk to a guy that can make a difference in the game.”
The Patriots clearly need to surround Maye with playmakers in the offseason. Building around him will be important for the future. Failure to do so could result in an even longer rebuild for an organization still searching for success in the post-Tom Brady era.
