Quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots offense are working to find their rhythm following a difficult start to the season. Through the first two games, New England is averaging only 11.5 points per game and ranks 23rd in EPA per play. Maye has thrown four interceptions across the opening two contests as the offense searches for consistency.
