10 minutes ago: Mike Vrabel, head coach of the New England Patriots, broke his silence with a powerful statement defending quarterback Drake Maye following the 31–35 loss to the Buffalo Bills: Full story “What’s happening to Drake Maye is a crime against football — a blatant betrayal of all the values this sport stands for. How can anyone be this cruel? Criticizing a young man who leads this team with all his heart, who goes out every week, plays through adversity, gives everything he has, never asks for praise, and never points fingers — he simply fights for New England. To me, Drake Maye is one of the most dedicated and selfless players this league has ever seen — and instead of doubting his worth every time the team struggles, people should stand behind him, support him, and back him up.” — Mike Vrabel
