LANDOVER, Md. — Drake Maye completed 13 of 20 passes for 126 yards and a touchdown for New England in the Patriots' 20-10 loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday night in the preseason finale. Maye, the rookie from North Carolina battling Jacoby Brissett for the starting job, made a good case, while the offensive line made it clear why first-year coach Jerod Mayo might not want to throw him in right away. Brissett started the first series, and was sacked hard by defensive lineman K.J. Henry. Brissett finished the series, but left after that and the Patriots listed him as having a right shoulder injury. Maye finished the first half, throwing an 18-yard scoring pass to Kevin Harris.
