6 winners and losers from Patriots’ 41-21 loss to the Texans

The New England Patriots dropped their Week 6 contest 41-21 to the Houston Texans on Sunday to fall to 1-5 on the year.

Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live viewing.

Winner: QB Drake Maye. It was far from a perfect day for the Patriots first-round draft pick. Maye sprayed some throws high — perhaps adrenaline/jitters, although not uncommon from his time at UNC — throughout the day, which helped lead to his first quarter interception when he overshot Pop Douglas.

But, Maye responded nicely and flashed the skillset that led to him being drafted third overall.
