MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Rookie quarterback Drake Maye accounted for three touchdowns as the New England Patriots overcame a deficit to defeat the Miami Dolphins 24-19 on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium.
Maye, wearing No. 10 for New England, scored on a rushing touchdown in the third quarter that helped spark the comeback. The Patriots' victory snapped a losing streak and marked a significant development for the first-round draft pick in his debut season.
The game, played on November 1, 2026, saw New England trail before Maye's performance turned the momentum. His three-touchdown effort included both passing and rushing scores, showcasing the dual-threat ability that made him a top selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.
