Maye’s Plays: Timing, anticipation headline efficient day vs. Colts

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots offense largely knew what to expect out of Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Gus Bradley’s defense on Sunday.

Coming from Seattle, nobody runs more zone coverage than Bradley — something that was on display in Gillette Stadium. With the Colts zone structures forcing quarterbacks away from the deep passing attack, Maye leaned on the quick game with an average depth of target of 6.3 yards (his second lowest as a starter).

Similar to the matchup against the Rams, Maye was extremely sharp underneath as he completed 80 percent of his passes with a +8.
