Drake Maye drained the tank with everything he had to get free and fire a dramatic touchdown pass for the New England Patriots on Sunday. The final play of regulation against the Tennessee Titans offered a decision for the Patriots: Kick the extra point to force overtime or try a two-point conversion for the win.
Jerod Mayo noted that offensive fatigue from the drive factored into the decision to kick. The game went to overtime and the Titans earned the victory. A day later, Maye reflected on the call in the fourth quarter with time to weigh the call.
“I was trying to catch my breath,” Maye told “The WEEI Afternoon Show” on Monday. “I think it was tough. So much emotion and so much energy that we brought out on that long drive. We started at the 50 (yard line). It was like 11 or 12 plays. I was still just tired and exhausted. I think I ran to the sideline right after that. In hindsight, it’s easy to look back and say (that) after a loss.”
“I think we made the right decision,” Maye added.
The Patriots certainly had reason to go for it. They should take risks in a season where losses are often expected from the roster at hand. Instead, Jerod Mayo and the coaching staff played it safe and Maye backed the decision with a fair point.
“If we go for it and we don’t win, everybody’s like, ‘What are you doing?'” Maye said. “I think I was so exhausted. Just get to the sideline and catch my breath.”
The quarterback led the Patriots with 85 rushing yards while throwing for over 200 yards and a touchdown. Maye co-stars in a rookie quarterback showcase in Week 10 when the Patriots visit 2024 No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.
