Patriots teammates offer support to Drake Maye following season opening performance
Summary

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye received vocal support from his teammates following the team's recent season opener in Seattle. Although Maye faced scrutiny for his performance during the game, which included three interceptions, players emphasized a collective responsibility for the result. Will Campbell, Rhamondre Stevenson, Morgan Moses, and Romeo Doubs each addressed the media to express their continued confidence in the quarterback. Alijah Vera-Tucker also noted that the team's offensive struggles were not solely attributable to the signal-caller, citing the need for better protection and overall execution. The roster maintains a united front as they shift focus toward correcting mistakes during the coming week of practice. Teammates described the outcome as a shared experience rather than an individual failure by the quarterback.
