Drake Maye throws three interceptions in Patriots loss to Seahawks
Summary

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye committed three fourth-quarter interceptions in a 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the 2026 NFL season opener. Maye, who finished the game 23-of-33 passing for 178 yards and one touchdown, characterized his decision-making as unacceptable following the defeat. The Patriots struggled to maintain rhythm after wide receiver A.J. Brown left the game in the first half with an ankle injury. While Maye added 47 yards on seven carries, the offense failed to capitalize on opportunities inside the red zone during the final minute. Head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in the team despite the turnover-heavy performance. The Patriots are scheduled to travel back to the East Coast following the result.
