Drake Maye struggles with turnovers in early 2026 NFL games

Drake Maye has encountered difficulties with turnovers in the opening three games of the 2026 NFL season, accumulating seven turnovers. This contrasts with his 2025 season, where he recorded only 11 turnovers during a breakout year for the New England Patriots. The team's current record stands at one win and two losses, reflecting the impact of these errors.

The Patriots are positioned 11th in the NFL standings after three games, having scored no points in the table due to their 1-2 record and a negative point difference of 15. Their recent results include a heavy 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a 20-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a narrow 13-10 defeat at the Seattle Seahawks.

Looking ahead, the Patriots will face the Buffalo Bills on 4 October. This game presents an opportunity for the team to improve their standing in the American Football Conference East division and for Maye to address his turnover issues. The Patriots, based in the Greater Boston area, continue to compete in the NFL with hopes of reversing their current form.
