Drake Maye, the New England Patriots' rookie quarterback, is impressing in his second NFL start against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London during Week 7. Playing at Wembley Stadium, Maye led the Patriots to their first opening drive touchdown of the season, completing a 16-yard pass to JaMycal Hasty after going 6 of 7 for 62 yards on the drive. He also showcased his mobility, scrambling for a first down. The Patriots dominated early, with the first two drives totaling over 12 minutes of possession and converting on multiple third downs. A 41-yard field goal by Joey Slye extended their lead to 10-0, marking their first double-digit lead since Week 1. The Jaguars' defense continued to struggle, facing challenges that have left them with a 25.8% defensive DVOA, which would be the worst in franchise history if it holds.
