Last season's league MVP runner-up Drake Maye put forth a terrible performance in his Year 3 debut, throwing three interceptions in the 13-10 loss. The Patriots were well within field goal range near the end of the fourth quarter, but the 24-year-old quarterback threw an ill-advised pass that was intercepted in the end zone to close out the game.

Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams shut down those doubters during a radio appearance on Friday.
“I guess y’all didn’t watch football last year," Williams said with a laugh on the Jones and Keefe show.
"Nobody played as good as they wanted to, including me. You can put the loss on me," Williams continued. "It's not all on one person. ... It's never going to be on one person. I don't care if he went out and threw five, six interceptions."
Maye and the Patriots will look to get back on track in their Week 2 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers next Sunday.
