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.
