Overview
- Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter that directly led to a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday night.
- Maye finished 23-of-33 for 178 yards, one touchdown and was sacked three times while Seahawks backup Drew Lock relieved an injured Sam Darnold and completed 16-of-22 for 187 yards and a TD.
- Seattle’s game-winner came on a 21-second, end-zone interception by cornerback Josh Jobe that ended New England’s final drive instead of a likely 34-yard field-goal attempt.
- Coach Mike Vrabel publicly condemned the turnovers and Maye admitted he ‘lost patience,’ while the Patriots also lost WR A.J. Brown to an ankle injury that limited New England’s late passing options.
- The result leaves New England 0-1, highlights a repeat of Maye’s playoff struggles versus Seattle despite offseason roster upgrades, and gives the team 11 days to address ball security and late-game play-calling before facing the Steelers.
