Drake Maye Says He Made 'Unacceptable' Decisions in Patriots' Loss. He's Right
Maye finished 23-of-33 for 178 yards and a touchdown, but his three fourth-quarter interceptions erased a late chance to force overtime.
On September 9, 2026, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw three fourth-quarter interceptions in a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
Wide receiver A.J. Brown and running back TreyVeon Henderson departed with ankle injuries, forcing Maye to navigate a condensed field against Seattle's elite defense.
Maye finished 23-of-33 for 178 yards and one touchdown but threw all three interceptions in the final quarter, including one inside the 20-yard line that ended New England's last drive.
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky called it "the worst game he's had as a pro," saying Maye's decision-making in the final minutes was "immature" for a third-year starter.
New England hosts the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 20 before facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, requiring the Patriots to address offensive consistency against stout defensive units.
