Drake Maye and the Patriots absolutely melted down in an epic fourth quarter collapse in Seattle to lose, 13-10. Maye threw three interceptions, making multiple terrible decisions in throws in the final quarter. Meanwhile, the defense decided to not defend the Seahawks’ best offensive player on a 45-yard touchdown.Oh, and by the way, this all happened with Seattle being led by their backup QB, Drew Lock, after Sam Darnold left after the first drive of the game. It was a bad night for Maye, Romeo Doubs, and included an injury to A.J. Brown. Locked On Patriots host Nick Cattles breaks down the debacle that played out on national television.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-patriots/Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, & More🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nfl/#patriots #newenglandpatriotsSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HomeChefFor a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners FIFTY PERCENT OFF and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
