Josh Allen Gets Honest on Drake Maye’s Struggles Days Before Bills-Patriots
Prior to the Bills taking on the Patriots at home on Sunday, Allen speaks out about the young quarterback’s troubles on the field
Drake Maye, the quarterback for the New England Patriots, has been facing challenges in his third NFL season since his impressive debut last year. During the first three weeks of the 2026-27 season, Maye struggled, leading to a 1-2 start. However, his Buffalo Bills counterpart, Josh Allen, remains confident in Maye's abilities. Allen, speaking at a press conference on Thursday, highlighted Maye's intelligence and work ethic, asserting that the young quarterback would overcome his current struggles.
This confidence stems from Allen's belief in Maye's potential; he described him as "extremely talented." The Patriots' performance was further illustrated by their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 27, where Maye recorded two interceptions. Despite the team's struggles, Allen expressed respect for Maye and expressed faith that he would navigate through this phase of his career. The Patriots will face the Bills at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.
