More from Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast with Nick Cattles
The New England Patriots saw their three-game winning streak come to an end Thursday night, falling to the Chicago Bears 30-24 in a back-and-forth battle at Soldier Field. Drake Maye put together a productive performance, throwing for 321 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing score. However, a costly end-zone interception and early offensive struggles proved difficult to overcome.
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.

They also discuss the injury fallout surrounding TreVeyon Henderson and Will Campbell, how the Patriots should handle A.J. Brown’s potential return, the improved offensive line and Rhamondre Stevenson’s continued impact. Plus, they break down a dominant defensive performance from Milton Williams, Elijah Ponder’s emergence and finish with their three up and three down from the win.
