Drake Maye and the New England Patriots continued their win streak with a 26-19 win over the New York Jets in Foxborough this weekend. Maye finished 18/32, throwing for 235 yards and three touchdowns, but his WR1, A.J. Brown, struggled in his return to action.

Is o-line coach Doug Marrone working wonders for this team? The guys discuss. They also react to Mike Vrabel’s postgame frustration and predict who will start on the o-line in Chicago on Thursday.

Later, they review Drake Maye’s day, and Greg reveals his grade for Maye’s performance. The guys also express their concerns over A.J. Brown’s struggles and assess how the running backs and defense fared against the Jets.

BSJ’s Greg Bedard joined John Zannis after the game to break it all down. They discuss Drake Maye’s virtually flawless performance, but Greg explains why he won’t be getting carried away after this win vs a poor Raiders defense. Is Maye officially back to his best now? They also get into how the Patriots were able to overcome their injury issues, which continue to mount as Will Campbell and TreVeyon Henderson were sidelined today. Greg then gives the defense a huge amount of credit for stopping Kirk Cousins, Brock Bowers, and Klint Kubiak’s offense. He also hits on the performances of Efton Chism, Eli Raridon, and Romeo Doubs.
