"If Drake Maye attempts around half of his passes within 2.5 seconds after the snap, the Pats will be in the clear."
The #Patriots problems in Denver mostly come down to pass protection: Drake Maye fumbles, blocking Nick Bonitto and Zach Allen, styming a relentless Broncos blitz.
Good news: Denver is 18th by EPA/play vs. quick game. That's how Maye can win big Sunday: www.bostonherald.com/2026/01/23/c...

Based on what research I've been able to do, I don't think the Jarrett Stidham of 2022-2023 is that much worse than the Bo Nix of 2025 except when it comes to avoiding sacks. But that's a big one.
(Stidham sucked five years ago, but geez, that was five years ago.)
