‘That guy’s special’: Patriots players praised Drake Maye’s late-game heroics despite loss

The Patriots lost to the Titans 20-17 on Sunday, but Drake Maye’s teammates continued to grow in the belief that the rookie quarterback is capable of making special plays.

While that ability might not factor into a 2024 season turnaround, the future seems to grow brighter by the week for New England.

Maye, 22, orchestrated an 11-play game-tying touchdown drive in the fourth quarter against the Titans that culminated with arguably the most memorable moment of his young NFL career.

Starting at the Titan’s five-yard line with four seconds, Maye scrambled around in the pocket — making multiple Tennessee rushers miss — before firing a last-second touchdown pass to Rhamondre Stevenson as he was getting hit.
