Drake Maye lost a fumble and threw two interceptions as the New England Patriots fell 35-6 to Jacksonville on Sunday, leaving them 1-2 after three games. Maye called the offense “unacceptable” and said protecting the ball starts with him.
Maye's three turnovers were a second-quarter fumble and interceptions in the end zone and along the sideline. He said the ball slipped from his hand on the fumble, acknowledged forcing the end-zone throw and said he should not have attempted the second interception. He has six interceptions in three games, after throwing eight all of last season.
Coach Mike Vrabel said the Patriots need to execute better and avoid forcing plays. Maye said he did not think his right shoulder, injured in last year's AFC Championship Game, was a problem. New England faces Buffalo next week.
