Summary
35-6 at Jacksonville left Drake Maye calling New England's offense "unacceptable" after his two interceptions and lost fumble helped drop the Patriots to 1-2.
Maye finished 14-of-25 for 199 yards with no touchdowns and an 11.9 QBR, while six interceptions through three games mark the most by a Patriots quarterback since Drew Bledsoe in 1994.
Pressure fueled the collapse: Maye was hurried on 11 first-half dropbacks, lost a fumble after saying center Jared Wilson had blood on his hand, then forced two picks including a goal-line interception by Travis Hunter.
Maye said his right shoulder is not the issue and put the blame on his decisions, with coach Mike Vrabel also saying the team must fix its ball security before next week's trip to 3-0 Buffalo.
