A touchdown catch—ideally an explosive one—that would help change the result. Drake Maye costs the New England No. 1 selection after he fouls out against the Bills.
The New England Patriots would finish the season with a seven-game losing skid if they lose to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Jerod Mayo may possibly get a pink slip.
At the conclusion of his challenging first season, but it would be a significant reversal from owner Robert Kraft. In the 2025 draft, the Pats are presently scheduled to choose first come April.
They would be locked into that position with another “L.” A victory complicates everything. But for teams ranked first coming into the last week, it’s not always that easy.
For instance, two seasons ago, the Texans fell from being selected first to second after defeating the Colts in Week 18.
With quarterback Drake Maye already in the boat, it’s not as if selecting one or two slots later may spell disaster for the Patriots in the future.
