The New England Patriots are riding high after pulling off a completely unexpected upset win over the New York Jets on Sunday. However, the team has a major injury to worry about as well on Victory Monday, with quarterback Drake Maye tending to a potential concussion after a dirty hit in Week 8.<\/p>\n

While Pats fans eagerly await word on Maye’s return to the field, head coach Jerod Mayo revealed some surprise information about the No. 3 pick Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Mayo said it was actually NFL personnel who made the call to evaluate Maye for a possible concussion. The Patriots HC himself thought Maye seemed in playing shape after throwing “a couple good balls after,” so his removal was a surprise to him. And Mayo noted even Maye wanted to get back on the field, so it doesn’t seem like he was too affected by the hit to his head.<\/p>\n

This is a rare instance of the NFL’s added involvement actually doing some good on a gameday. Of course, no one wanted to see Maye taken out of Sunday’s contest — and his removal made it only tougher for New England to win — but every precaution possible should be taken with the future of the franchise.<\/p>\n

Patriots HC Jerod Mayo on Drake Maye's concussion:<\/p>\n

"It was called down from the league. They wanted to do further evaluation. When I went in there at halftime, he wanted to go back out there, but obviously he didn't pass the test. And not going to get too far into that. But, at\u2026<\/p>\n
