The New England Patriots faced the Philadelphia Eagles in a preseason game that highlighted rookie quarterback Drake Maye's potential. Though they lost 14-13, Maye demonstrated promise with 6-of-11 passing for 47 yards and a rushing touchdown, showcasing mobility and efficient play despite a struggling offensive line. The game also featured strong performances from players like Jalen Reagor and Raekwon McMillan, while veterans like Jacoby Brissett faced challenges. The team's decisions heading into the final preseason game will weigh heavily on these evaluations.
