Maye leads the NFL in completion percentage (71.0) and passing yards (3,130) in 2025. The 71% would be the highest completion percentage in a season in Patriots history. What have opposing coaches seen from the 2nd year pro?

That's just the second time the Pats have hit Joe Flacco today, but it comes at a good time. 3-and-out to start the 2nd half.

Initial pressure by Chaisson but that felt like a coverage sack to me. Landry with the cleanup on aisle 5.

Only midway through the second offensive series for Cincy, but they've already completed five balls to tight ends. This is an area the Pats have been subpar against, but in recent weeks, Penix and Fields don't attack that area.

Some of the boys are back in town for the Patriots. Stevenson, Boutte and Elliss all active. Rookie Bradyn Swinson, just signed from the practice squad, will also make his debut. No Joshua Farmer - a bit of a surprise - while Chism, Tavai (personal), Wallace and Dippre also inactive.
