As hard as Sunday’s loss hit, splitting the blame pie for the Patriots afterward was easy. Everybody got a slice. The offense, for tripping on penalties and a turnover to ruin four trips inside the red zone.

While Drake Maye suffered losses during his time at UNC, there were many more victories to count. It’s been different during his time with the New England Patriots, who fell to 3-10 after Sunday’s 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Maye squeezed the throw through several Colts defenders for the 16-yard touchdown. It ended an eight-play, 70-yard drive and took 4:34 off the clock. The touchdown grab was Hooper’s second of the season, as he continues to be a dependable second option for the Patriots offense.
