Patriots quarterback Drake Maye played just two series in the team's 48-18 preseason-opening win over the the Washington Commanders on Friday night. Much like his rookie season, there was some good and some bad from the second-year quarterback.
Maye was working with a 7-0 lead when he got his hands on the football, thanks to rookie TreVeyon Henderson returning the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. On New England's first offensive drive, Maye completed a pair of short passes to Henderson before things went a little haywire for the quarterback.

With the Patriots facing a third-and-7 at their own 45-yard line, Maye dropped back looking to move the chains. But he felt some heavy pressure from Washington's Jer'Zhan Newton, and couldn't escape the heat.
