Drake Maye throws three interceptions in New England Patriots loss to Seattle
Summary

The New England Patriots opened the 2026 NFL season with a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after holding a 10-0 lead. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye struggled during the fourth quarter, throwing interceptions on three consecutive possessions. Maye previously recorded three turnovers against Seattle during Super Bowl LX. The offense managed only 51 rushing yards and saw wide receiver A.J. Brown exit the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury. Head coach Mike Vrabel indicated a need for improved decision-making from Maye following the loss. The team now faces questions regarding its offensive depth and the ability to maintain momentum against defensive-heavy schemes.
