Drake Maye finished the season's opening tilt going 23-of-33 with 178 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, all of which came in the fourth quarter. While the first interception of the night for Maye was a deep jump ball to Romeo Doubs that was batted around and ended up in the hands of Nehemiah Pritchett, the latter two were inexcusable throws.

Maye threw three fourth-quarter INTs in Week 1 loss to Seattle; two were inexcusable decisions.

In Week 1 of 2026, Maye went 23-of-33 for 178 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions against Seattle, all three picks coming in the fourth quarter. Two of the three interceptions were described as inexcusable throws, including a late-game underthrow into one-on-one end zone coverage picked off by Josh Jobe to seal a 13-10 loss. The source characterizes this as a continuation of a concerning trend; Maye hasn't had a truly complete game since Week 17 of 2025 against the Jets.
