Vrabel Flags Very High Concern After Patriots' 35-6 Loss, Maye Commits 3 Turnovers

Summary
Mike Vrabel said his concern level is "very high" after New England fell to 1-2 with a 35-6 blowout loss to Jacksonville.
Three turnovers by Drake Maye drove the latest alarm: the quarterback lost a fumble and threw two interceptions, leaving him with six picks on the season.
Vrabel said the Patriots cannot keep turning the ball over at that rate and described sideline talks with Maye as reminders to put the ball where it belongs and avoid forcing plays.
The scrutiny is sharper because New England reached the Super Bowl last season, but through three weeks sloppy execution has become a central problem.
