- Patriots QB Drake Maye shares 6-word mantra for bouncing back after a loss
FOXBOROUGH — There was a lot on the line at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
With a win over the Bills, the Patriots would clinch their first AFC East title 2019, Tom Brady ’s final season with the team. Before the game, Drake Maye spoke of the importance of dispatching Buffalo with the first chance New England had.

“It’s really important to do it here,” Maye said Wednesday. “We’ve got a chance to face them head-to-head. There’s no better way to win the division than with the team that’s fighting to crawl back and to keep themselves as division champs.”
That didn’t happen.
The Patriots blew a 21-point lead and fell to Josh Allen’s Bills, 35-31. Obviously Maye knows it was a missed opportunity, and the quarterback used a six-word phrase to emphasize the importance of moving forward. He doesn’t want the 11-3 Patriots to dwell on the loss.
“Don’t let it beat you twice,” Maye said. "Move on to the next week and learn from it and take what we can. And know that we’ve got some football ahead of us that’s important, still very important. And don’t just hang our hat and keep your head up and know that we had a chance and we’re there, just they made more plays and credit to them."

Maye said he’d be moving on from the game in the next 24 hours.
“You come back tomorrow,” Maye said. “And once you watch the tape and hang out with teammates and talk about it, you flush it after tomorrow and get back on Tuesday for a new week and another tough opponent. We’ve got to flush it and know that this is what the NFL is. It’s any given week and it’s on to the next.”
