Maye's rough start sparks debate on whether a deficit or defensive adjustments are the cure

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is struggling early in the 2026 season, throwing four interceptions and one touchdown in two games. While some analysts suggest a deficit against the Jacksonville Jaguars could force him to play more aggressively, others argue he needs to improve his pocket poise and short-game execution. Veterans Russell Wilson and Kyle Long remain confident in his long-term potential despite the early drop-off.

McDaniels dodges Brady‑Seahawks rumor with 'I have no idea'

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels said he has 'no idea' whether Tom Brady helped the Seahawks beat the Patriots and added, 'I wouldn’t have a dog in that fight,' a reply seen as an ideal way to defuse the Brady-Seahawks speculation. The chatter follows Brady’s own line that he had no dog in the fight, and his upcoming Foxborough appearance to call a Week 9 Packers‑Patriots game will keep the storyline alive for Patriots fans.
