Drake Maye throws late interception in New England Patriots loss to Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 0-1 to open the 2026 NFL season. New England quarterback Drake Maye threw three interceptions in the second half, including a decisive turnover with 26 seconds remaining while trailing by three points. The Patriots faced a third-down situation at the Seattle 16-yard line when Maye, under pressure, lobbed a pass that was intercepted by Josh Jobe. Maye took responsibility for the performance during his postgame press conference, describing his late-game decision-making as unacceptable. The loss marks a difficult start for a New England offense playing without wide receiver A.J. Brown. Maye previously struggled against the Seahawks in a 29-13 loss during Super Bowl 60 to conclude the 2025 postseason. The Patriots aim to adjust after failing to maintain their early momentum in the season opener.
