Drake Maye should have a more favorable matchup in his second NFL start. Just ask fellow rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
Maye and the skidding New England Patriots will travel across the pond to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday. And no one needs to point out Jacksonville’s defensive flaws to Maye. They were on full display last week when Williams threw four touchdown passes in Chicago’s 35-16 romp over the Jaguars in London.
Inconsistent pass rush. Blown assignments. Gap integrity issues. The Jaguars (1-5) put them all on tape.
Even former Patriots coach and current analyst Bill Belichick took aim at the Jags while weighing in on Williams’ performance, saying “that was a good defense to face.”
It might be good for Maye, too.
The third overall pick from North Carolina had moments in his starting debut against Houston, including three touchdown passes, but he also had three turnovers as the Patriots (1-5) lost their fifth straight since stunning Cincinnati in Week 1.
“As the weeks go on, I think I’ll get more and more confident, especially with the game plan stuff,” Maye said.
Maye threw two interceptions in the 41-21 loss. He also gave the ball away on a strip sack that left Houston on the Patriots 10, setting up a third-quarter touchdown. His fourth-quarter INT also gave Houston the ball deep in New England territory and set up another score.
“We hurt our defense, put them in some bad spots,” Maye said.
As troubling as ball security was for first-year Pats coach Jerod Mayo, the slow start was more alarming. The Texans were up 14-0 after two drives and it would have been worse had they not missed a field goal.
“We’ve got to start games faster, and that’s definitely a point of emphasis this week,” Mayo said.
The Jaguars spent the week in London licking their wounds. Little has gone right for Jacksonville this season and getting swept overseas would put a bright spotlight on coach Doug Pederson’s job security, especially after safety Andre Cisco said he saw “a lot of quit” against the Bears and quarterback Trevor Lawrence called the team fragile.
Pederson responded by saying his guys need to eliminate mental mistakes, be physically tougher and more well-conditioned.
“Being a smarter football team really makes a difference in the success that you have on the field,” Pederson said.
