Drake Maye eyes first 400-yard game as Patriots face Steelers in 2026
Summary

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye aims to record his first 400-yard game in the upcoming 2026 season. Despite a strong 2025 campaign where he threw for 4,394 total yards, his highest single-game total was 380 yards against the Baltimore Ravens. Maye will have wide receiver A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs as primary targets, bolstering his chances to reach this milestone. The Patriots could face favorable conditions for this achievement in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who allowed the third-most passing yards last season. Other opportunities could arise during matchups with the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 or Week 18.
