What's wrong with Drake Maye? Four reasons why Patriots QB is struggling mightily with turnovers
Drake Maye had only 11 turnovers during his breakout 2025 season for the Patriots. But in only three games in 2026, he already has 7, leading to a 1-2 start. Here's explaining the sudden change for the young QB.
Drake Maye, the New England Patriots' starting quarterback, is experiencing a rough start to the 2026 NFL season, culminating in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-6. This loss marked the first time since 2023 that the Patriots failed to score a touchdown in a defeat, and Maye's performance was a major contributor. He was responsible for three turnovers, including a fumble lost late in the first quarter and two interceptions - one in the end zone and another late in the third quarter.
These turnovers led to a 21-point swing in the game, a significant change from his previous season where he only had 11 turnovers.
