The key to the highest-scoring performance of the Drake Maye era? A functional offensive line.
""They played the role," Maye said. "They start every play. I think those five guys are playing their tails off, playing their butts off in the run game, in the passing game, learning the protection system, learning third down, different looks.""
""Garrett [Bradbury]'s communicating with me basically on the front getting into different plays. Can't be more proud of those guys up front and they continue to do it each and every week.""
""Coach McDaniels called a great game," Bradbury said. "We found some explosives early and this season we've had a lot of 15, 17, 17-play drives. We were talking on the sideline about how it was good to get a 6-play touchdown drive. Guys were making plays. We were mixing it up on them. I thought it was a good mix of run and play""
Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 passes, threw two touchdowns, ran for another, and committed no turnovers in a 42-13 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was sacked once and otherwise enjoyed clean pockets, enabling calm, accurate decision-making. The offensive line provided strong protection and effective run blocking, with Garrett Bradbury communicating protections and adjustments. New England produced six plays of 20+ yards, rising to eighth in the league for explosive plays. Stefon Diggs, Hunter Henry, and Austin Hooper made key catches. Playcalling balanced run and quick explosive plays, yielding shorter scoring drives.
