Twenty-one completions today on 23 attempts. Two touchdowns and no interceptions. 222 total yards. QB rating of 135.9, second in the NFL. In the NFL top 10 in touchdowns, total yards, first downs, completions and percent completions on the season. Sixty-two yards rushing. Drake Maye is officially an elite QB, and suddenly it's fun to watch Patriots games again.
Today, the New England Patriots (5-2, first in the AFC East) beat Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans (1-6, last in the AFC South) by a score of 31-13. Is there a term for when one team's score is the reverse of the other team's score? Is it a palindrome (the score's the same when read backward as forward)? The Patriots beat the Titans by the palindrome score of 31-13.
The game started fairly evenly and late in the second quarter, the Titans kicked a FG to take a brief, 13-10 lead. They never scored again. The Pats came back in the last minute of the half and scored a TD on a 39-yard Maye pass down the middle to Kayshon Boutte to lead 17-13 at the half. New England scored twice in the third, once on a four-yard Rhamondre Stevenson run and once on a returned Cam Ward fumble. That's all that was needed to complete three straight wins on the road.
The Patriots finally get to return to their New England home. Next week, they host the Cleveland Browns (2-5, third in the AFC North) in Foxborough.
We're going to the playoffs, baby!
