Challenge: Can Drake Maye and the Patriots Conquer Tampa’s Elite Defense?
New England Patriots face their toughest road test yet, taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Tampa’s bye week. Can Drake Maye solve Todd Bowles’ high-pressure, blitz-heavy defense, especially with key weapons like Rhamondre Stevenson likely sidelined and injuries thinning multiple positions? Nick Cattles spotlights how Josh McDaniels’ offensive game plan must adapt, emphasizing quick reads, tight end involvement, and creative misdirection to exploit Tampa’s vulnerabilities in run defense and linebacker coverage.On the flip side, Baker Mayfield’s Buccaneers struggle in pass protection and the ground game—will New England’s dominant run defense and surging pass rush capitalize?
