Raiders’ head coach just avoided Bills’ big Drake Maye mistake before Patriots’ game

Musket Fire writer Sara Marshall argues that Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak avoided Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's mistake by praising Drake Maye instead of hoping for his continued struggles. Leonhard had voiced hope that Maye's bounce-back would happen after facing Buffalo, but the Patriots quarterback threw three touchdowns in New England's victory last week.

Ahead of their Week 6 meeting at Gillette Stadium, Kubiak stated that the Raiders have full respect and attention for Maye's running and deep-throwing ability. Marshall highlights that Maye and the Patriots now face an opportunity to start another winning streak following an uneven start to the 2026 season.
