"Maye finished 17-of-29 for 268 yards with one touchdown, one interception and one lost fumble. He had another fumble that was recovered by left guard Jared Wilson. His first half, when he was 6-of-15, marked his worst completion percentage in a half this season (40%). "Just got to be better, whether it's accuracy or ball placement or little things, making decisions faster," he said. "Held on to the ball a little bit. It wasn't my best, but that's why you have teammates. Those guys picked me up.""
"Maye, who added that he never lost confidence against the stingy Chargers defense, delivered arguably his best throw in the clutch when he found tight end Hunter Henry on a 28-yard touchdown just over the outstretched arm of safety Derwin James Jr. The score gave the Patriots a 16-3 lead with 9:52 to play, finally creating some breathing room in what had been a game of jockeying for field position and both teams making stops in the red zone."
