Drake Maye did a lot right against the Arizona Cardinals, and yet, everything went wrong.
The New England Patriots‘ rookie quarterback completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts — including one big-time throw — for 202 yards and a score. He also threw an interception, although it was a perfect pass to wideout Kayshon Boutte, who coughed it up into the arms of a defender.
Those types of miscues haunted the Patriots, who fell to the Cardinals, 30-17. Arizona running back James Conner crossed the century mark in rushing yardage and scored twice, and tight end Trey McBride led the team in receiving yardage (87) and receptions (nine).
