DeVito backs Maye after Patriots’ heavy loss to Jaguars
Tommy DeVito says Drake Maye’s two interceptions came on a play that had often worked in practice, and expressed confidence in his teammate’s work ethic.
The New England Patriots lost 35–6 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, with quarterback Drake Maye completing 14 of 25 passes for 199 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked three times.
After the defeat, Patriots backup quarterback Tommy DeVito defended Maye, saying the interceptions came on a play that had usually worked in practice. He described the turnovers as a learning opportunity and said the team could improve from them.
DeVito also expressed confidence in Maye’s work ethic, saying he spends more time in the building than anyone else and is the hardest worker.
The report, published by Yahoo Sports and attributed to ClutchPoints, also cites The Athletic’s Chad Graff as saying New England ranks last in points scored per drive, at 0.97. The supplied report is truncated, so further details of DeVito’s comments are unavailable.
