Another week, another strong performance from Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye, who continued his progress toward becoming a franchise passer. But there was also yet another crushing interception — this latest one a game-sealing pick in Sunday’s 28-22 loss to the Rams.
Maye and wide receiver Demario Douglas, the intended target on the play, termed the missed connection a “miscommunication” after the game, with Douglas seeming to run his route deeper than Maye wanted him to. Of course, both media and fans alike have been quick to assign fault to either party for the miscue.
Former Patriots QB Brian Hoyer wouldn’t play the blame game on “The Quick Snap” podcast while recapping the game: “It’s both of their faults because they’re not on the same page at the most critical point of the game,” he said.
