Patriots center Garrett Bradbury commented on quarterback Drake Maye taking an exceptionally high number of sacks in games.

Drake Maye’s emergence has powered New England Patriots’ remarkable turnaround this season. The Patriots sit atop the AFC after a 7-2 start, and Maye’s week-to-week consistency has been the engine behind it.
