Patriots’ Offensive Line Gets Angry When Drake Maye Does This 1 Thing
You know it’s about to get spicy when someone says “sometimes, they get mad at me” in a conversation.
The topic of contention emerged during a press conference, when New England quarterback Drake Maye made a statement that set his offensive line off. The Patriots had lost three key starters in the previous game against the New York Jets, making their performance all the more remarkable. Maye acknowledged that his contribution played a role in the line's commendable effort.
"I think that may be one of the first times in my career, and mostly it’s on me for holding the football," he remarked, according to the Boston Globe. This seemingly harmless comment, however, was met with irritation from his teammates. "Sometimes they get mad at me – I run out of bounds at minus-1 or a no gain," Maye confessed, the Globe reported.
"Those guys are getting mad at me, which is warranted; I think it’s true." Despite the Jets fielding a formidable defense with 19 sacks this season, the Patriots' offensive line managed to prevent any sacks in the game. Some are suggesting that the offensive line's stellar performance was due in part to Maye's wife, Ann Michael, who prepared baked goods for the team before the 26-19 victory.
"I said, ‘I gotta bring in some more treats,’” Maye shared with reporters after the win. "Gotta keep bringing some more treats. Those guys are doing a heck of a job in there."
