In last year’s loss to the Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye pulled off what his teammates call a “once-in-a-lifetime” play. Maye himself rarely revisits that moment, but it remains a defining highlight of his rookie season.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who grew up admiring Aaron Rodgers, is set to face his idol when Pittsburgh visits Foxborough. New England has won six of its last seven home matchups with the Steelers, and the team hopes to continue its dominance on Sunday.

Optimism grows in Foxborough as the Patriots finalize their 2025 roster. While this squad stands stronger than in recent years, lingering depth concerns cast a shadow over their season outlook.
