For the first time in their young careers, Maye and Williams, the third and first picks in the 2024 NFL Draft went head-to-head in what would be a not-so-dazzling affair. The Patriots came out on top 19-3 following a four-field goal performance from Joey Slye. Neither QB looked stellar, but Williams certainly looked the worst of the two this time out, totaling just 135 total yards on a poor 16/30 passing.
The Patriots offense was up and down for most of the game but managed to put scoring drives together on five occasions. The brunt of the production came in the first half, when Maye found Austin Hooper downfield for a 28-yard grab.
