Yahoo Sports NFL on Drake Maye

Maye's deep-ball struggles exposed; blueprint is two-high safeties and underneath coverage.

The blueprint against Maye is now established: take away the deep ball and force him to take underneath profits to string together long drives. In last year's playoffs, teams played two-high safeties 51% of the time; against Seattle, he faced split-safety coverages at 57%. For three quarters, Maye played effective but boring football in the underneath area to build a 10-0 lead, then lost patience and threw downfield, resulting in three interceptions and a blown lead.
