New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye made it clear on Sunday that his team is not worried about the Buffalo Bills.
After a week of rest and recovery, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the New England Patriots at Raymond James on Sunday at 1 p.m. The highly anticipated game will see Bucs QB Baker Mayfield come face-to-face with Patriots QB Drake Maye.
It wasn’t Drake Maye’s best statistical game, nor was it his most efficient. He completed 2 of his first 7 passes for 19 yards, sailing throws with a wet ball in the way Troy Aikman famously used to and Tom Brady never did. He threw a fourth-quarter interception that had a chance to be cost-‘em-the-game regrettable.
Stefon Diggs made history with 11,000 career yards on Sunday, but his special teams preparation proved most valuable in the final seconds.

The Bucs once again on Sunday seemed poised to rise to the occasion with their signature late-game wizardry. New England, leading by five, had the ball at Tampa Bay’s 2-yard line with little more than five minutes to play.
So when Kyle Williams scored his first career touchdown in the Patriots win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, a reporter asked him what he was doing with the ball, perhaps expecting a similar answer.
