In the only game of the NFL‘s wild-card weekend so far that was not decided by one score, Drake Maye put together a big second-half effort to lead the New England Patriots past the Los Angeles Chargers, 16-3.
Here are four takeaways from New England’s win on Sunday night:
Drake Maye overcomes slow start in dominant Patriots win
There may have only been one TD combined in the game, but New England was in control of this one for much of the night, thanks in large part to its stout defense that only allowed 207 total yards.
While that was impressive, Maye was not too bad himself, going 17-of-29 for 268 yards with one TD and one interception. He also tacked on 10 carries for 66 yards and showcased his mobility. This TD pass to tight end Hunter Henry, though, blew the game open in the fourth quarter.
