Drake Maye and the New England Patriots face a major challenge against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense. Could Pittsburgh's zone coverage expose Drake Maye's biggest weakness, or are his recent struggles being blown out of proportion? On today's Patriots HIT, Zach Blackerby breaks down how Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham could attack Drake Maye after Pittsburgh played 100% zone coverage against the Atlanta Falcons. The Patriots struggled against Graham's zone-heavy defense last season when he was with the Las Vegas Raiders. Now, Josh McDaniels must find answers against a defensive approach that has given Maye problems, particularly Cover 6. Could Mack Hollins become the key to beating Pittsburgh's zone defense? What adjustments can McDaniels make, and which Patriots receiver will step up without A.J. Brown? PLUS, new analysis from Daniel Rotman suggests Drake Maye's recent five-game stretch might not be nearly as concerning as it looks. Despite facing a brutal defensive schedule, Maye exceeded the opposing defenses' quarterback averages in passing yards, completion percentage, and total touchdowns. Is Drake Maye actually in a slump, or has the Patriots quarterback been performing better than expected against elite defenses?
