Patriots fall 35-6 as Maye commits three turnovers

The New England Patriots lost 35-6 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, as quarterback Drake Maye committed three turnovers and the Jaguars converted two into touchdowns. Maye threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in a Week 3 defeat that deepened questions about his early-season performance, though the reports do not establish what is driving his struggles or what changes the team may consider. Maye completed 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions, and was sacked three times, according to reported game statistics. The Patriots’ offense also lost a promising scoring opportunity when Maye threw an interception in the end zone before halftime. His second interception came in the third quarter and was followed by a Jacksonville touchdown that extended the lead. Maye said after the game that he needed to protect the ball better and described his play as an unacceptable funk through the first three weeks. He called the loss a potential turning point and said he needed to begin by examining his own performance and lead the team.
