Patriots DT Delivers Blunt Message to Drake Maye Doubters After Week 1

New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams delivered a blunt message to critics of Drake Maye after Week 1.

The New England Patriots faced a challenging Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks, with quarterback Drake Maye delivering a disappointing performance marked by three interceptions. This underwhelming showing raised concerns among NFL fans and analysts regarding Maye's abilities as he enters his third season in the league. However, Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams addressed those doubters on a radio appearance, emphasizing that the loss was not solely attributable to Maye's performance.

Williams playfully acknowledged his own shortcomings, stating, "Nobody played as good as they wanted to, including me." He further clarified that it was not the responsibility of a single player to carry the team and reiterated that Maye and the Patriots would strive to improve in their upcoming Week 2 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
