Drake Maye was the hero — and then he wasn’t.
A day after he was cleared from concussion protocol, the Patriots’ rookie quarterback threw a five-yard touchdown pass as time expired Sunday. The Patriots kicked the extra point to force overtime.
After the Titans kicked a field goal, Maye had a chance to win the game. On the Patriots’ third play, he tried a deep pass down the field to receiver Kayshon Boutte — and it was intercepted to end the game.
He wasn’t he only rookie quarterback to play an outsize role in their team’s game Sunday, for better or worse.
