Drake Maye focuses on Steelers after Patriots' season opener loss

Summary

Drake Maye spoke to WEEI on September 11 about redirecting focus following the New England Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in their season opener. Maye cited the need for improvement, using the phrase, "We're on to Pittsburgh," reminiscent of Bill Belichick's approach. He admitted to poor decision-making during the game, particularly in the fourth quarter where he threw three interceptions.
