FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are reeling after five straight losses, but rookie quarterback Drake Maye provided them a glimmer of hope in his first career NFL start.
Maye finished 20-of-33 for 243 yards with three touchdowns, two interceptions and one lost fumble in Sunday's 41-21 defeat to the visiting Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium.
Following a slow start, Maye found a more consistent groove after a 40-yard deep-strike touchdown pass to receiver Kayshon Boutte late in the second quarter. Maye added five rushes for 38 yards in the game, showcasing the mobility and athleticism that contributed to the team selecting him No.
