Hamstrung Drake Maye finds a way to win…
Heroes, zeros and the full blitz from the Jets’ 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday:
Hero
Drake Maye was 18-for-32 for 235 yards and threw three touchdowns in the win without a turnover. And his numbers possible would have been better if A.J. Brown — just back from an ankle injury — didn’t have a career-high three dropped passes.
Zero
Part of Maye’s success got here from the fact the Jets have been hardly in a position to get to him. Even with three New England offensive linemen struggling accidents during the sport, the Jets weren’t in a position to sack Maye once.
Unsung hero
Corey Kiner, the Patriots third-string working back behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson, helped seal the victory for New England with a pair of stable returns on particular groups, as nicely as six straight dashing makes an attempt — for a mixed 30 yards — on their closing scoring drive.

Quote of the day
“I don’t think anybody feels good about 2-4, but I do feel good about the effort we’re playing with. … No doubt about it, being 2-4 does not feel good, but there’s some things I know we can build on.”
