New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has found comfort in throwing to the tight ends this season.
That was once again evident on his touchdown pass to veteran tight end Austin Hooper, who made a leaping grab to give the Patriots the lead in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Maye squeezed the throw through several Colts defenders for the 16-yard touchdown. It ended an eight-play, 70-yard drive and took 4:34 off the clock. The touchdown grab was Hooper’s second of the season, as he continues to be a dependable second option for the Patriots offense.

Several offensive line penalties marred the offense throughout the game. Nevertheless, they were able to have some degree of success. Maye is keeping plays alive and constantly finding his open receivers.
