Drake Maye showed on Sunday why the New England Patriots chose him with the third pick in the\u00a0NFL\u00a0draft last April.<\/p>\n

He also reminded everyone that quarterbacks need time to grow.<\/p>\n

Maye led the Patriots with a career-high 95 rushing yards. He skillfully dodged defenders for 11.82 seconds before finding Rhamondre Stevenson open in the end zone just after the clock hit zero, which forced the game into overtime.<\/p>\n

However, in overtime, Maye threw his second interception of the game, resulting in a 20-17 loss to the Titans, marking the Patriots\u2019 second overtime defeat this season (2-7).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already knew it, but the clear takeaway is his mental toughness and ability to move on from tough situations, and that\u2019s an important trait for a quarterback,\u201d first-year coach Jerod Mayo said. \u201cHe\u2019s a good competitor.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rookie had limited practice time during the week while he worked through the concussion protocol that kept him out of last week\u2019s game against the Jets. He was cleared to play on Saturday and showed no signs of hesitation, running the ball eight times to lead the team in rushing. He also passed for 206 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gave us a chance to win the game. Obviously, we just didn\u2019t finish,\u201d Mayo said.<\/p>\n

Maye did throw two interceptions, with the last one ending the game. He lost the ball when Titans linebacker Arden Key sacked him for the fourth time, and Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons recovered the fumble.<\/p>\n

This set up the Titans at the Patriots\u2019 26-yard line, leading to an easy touchdown for a team that had only scored once in the fourth quarter of a game this season. After New England\u2019s defense limited Tennessee to a 25-yard field goal in overtime, the Patriots still had one last chance until Maye threw his second interception.<\/p>\n

Maye now has six touchdown passes and four interceptions this season. \u201cI need to go back and learn from this, especially me,\u201d Maye said. \u201cI have to take these game reps and make the most of them, and I need to play better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The play that highlighted Maye\u2019s potential came when he scrambled to buy time for his only touchdown pass in this loss. He praised his offensive linemen for keeping their blocks while he searched for a receiver.<\/p>\n

There were only four seconds left on the game clock when the ball was snapped. Maye took the second-longest time to throw for a touchdown since Next Gen Stats began tracking this data in 2016, only behind Jayden Daniels\u2019 game-winning throw for Washington last week, which took 12.7 seconds.<\/p>\n

Coach Mayo chose to go for the extra point instead of a two-point conversion to win the game. The quarterback mentioned that he was focused on catching his breath and didn\u2019t think about convincing his coach to let him handle the ball again.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter being out there for so long on such an intense drive, I think it\u2019s tough to go for two,\u201d Maye said. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to look back and say that now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
