Drake Maye's poor form continued in the Patriots' heavy 35–6 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, with the quarterback committing three turnovers that prompted coach Mike Vrabel to substitute him with eight minutes remaining. Maye's collapse is particularly concerning as he has now accumulated seven turnovers across three games this season, suggesting a systemic problem with decision-making that is severely hampering the team's prospects.

The Patriots currently sit at 1–2 after Maye threw two interceptions and lost a fumble against Jacksonville. His struggles have been consistent since the season-opener against Seattle, where he also committed three turnovers. Coach Vrabel has stressed the need for better ball security and decision-making, whilst Maye himself acknowledged the issue, stating he must "look myself in the mirror" and that the team's offensive performance is "unacceptable." Despite the setbacks, teammates including cornerback Christian Gonzalez have publicly backed the 24-year-old, who faces another test next Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
