WATCH: Drake Maye leads Patriots on first opening drive touchdown of season

Drake Maye was on fire in the opening drive

The New England Patriots scored a touchdown on the opening drive of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Quarterback Drake Maye found running back JaMycal Hasty for a 16-yard touchdown to give the Patriots a 7-0 lead following the extra point.

The drive took 11 plays, 68 yards and 6:28 off the clock. Hasty did some nifty footwork after the catch and was able to run into the end zone for the score. It was New England’s first opening-drive touchdown of the season, and it set the tone early in the game.

It was Maye’s fourth touchdown of the season, as the rookie continues to get acclimated to the NFL.

All eyes will be on Maye throughout the game as he’s making the second start of his NFL career. It’s a strong start so far for a Patriots team continuing to build for the future.
