"The New England Patriots are set to take on the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, in their final primetime game of the 2025 season, at least, until the playoffs, of course. It's expected to be a tough battle, despite their opponents coming to Foxboro with a 2-10 record, mainly because of the injuries the Patriots are dealing with."
"While speaking to reporters about their upcoming matchup against the Patriots and one of the league favorites for MVP, Burns talked about how poised Maye is, and how that could become a detriment to his performance. Maye responded, confused by what the pass rusher meant, which is fair because it's unclear what exactly he meant, and based on his follow-up, it seems Burns is banking on Maye making mistakes by overlooking the defensive line and maybe even holding onto the football too long."
The Patriots enter Monday Night Football missing starting linemen Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, forcing backups into the lineup and risking offensive disruption. The replacements have prior experience with quarterback Drake Maye, which could ease the transition. The Giants present a dominant defensive front with multiple standout pass rushers prepared to pressure Maye. Brian Burns publicly questioned Maye's poise, suggesting Maye might overlook the defensive line or hold the ball too long. Maye expressed confusion at being called 'too poised' and emphasized keeping his eyes downfield while feeling pressure and acknowledging Burns as a great player.
