Drake Maye might be in more trouble vs. Maxx Crosby than Patriots fans expect

Writer Sara Marshall argues that New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye faces a significant challenge against Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Maxx Crosby. The article highlights vulnerabilities along the right side of New England's offensive line, pointing to Mike Onwenu's broken ankle in Week 2 and right tackle Morgan Moses struggling to meet expectations. Crosby has reportedly lined up against opposing right tackles on 79 percent of snaps through the first four games.

Marshall notes that Maye has already been sacked 10 times this season following 47 sacks in 2025. The writer expresses concern that backup right guard Ben Brown and Moses may struggle to protect Maye and establish the run game with TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson, potentially forcing Maye into dangerous scrambling situations against Crosby.
