Drake Maye Gets ‘Deadly’ Label From Ben Johnson Ahead of Bears-Patriots Clash

The Chicago Bears prepare to face the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football at Soldier Field. Head coach Ben Johnson singles out Patriots quarterback Drake Maye as a key threat, describing his skills as "deadly." Maye has excelled in both passing and rushing, leading New England's three-game winning streak. Since the start of the season, Maye has recorded 1,463 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, seven interceptions, 185 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown.

Johnson also credits Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels for creating advantageous matchups. The Bears, meanwhile, will rely on their rushing attack, which has averaged 160.7 yards per game this season. Defensive end Montez Sweat will miss the game due to suspension. Both teams enter the matchup with 4-2 records, with the Bears aiming to improve their standing while the Patriots seek to extend their winning streak.
