The New England Patriots needed an offensive spark in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and when they needed it most, rookie quarterback Drake Maye connected with veteran wide receiver K.J. Osborn in the end zone for six points.
It was Maye’s second touchdown pass of the game and Osborn’s first touchdown reception of the season. Maye’s control of the offense was one of the few positives to take away from the game for New England. They failed to come away with the victory, but they got another solid showing from their young quarterback.
They’re hopeful this highlighted touchdown pass is a sign of things to come.
Maye now has five touchdown passes in his first two games as a starter in the NFL. Even with the team losing, the rookie quarterback is continuing to build on a strong start to his career.
If anything, he’s giving Patriots fans a reason to be excited for the future.
