Brady Jokes About Maye’s Three Interceptions in Patriots Loss

Tom Brady returned to Gillette Stadium as a Fox Sports analyst for New England’s November 8 game against the Packers. Green Bay won 45-27, dropping the Patriots to 5-4 and leaving them behind AFC East leader Buffalo, which stood at 6-1.

Maye completed throws for 299 yards and three touchdowns, but Packers defenders intercepted him three times and sacked him four times. Xavier McKinney picked off two passes, while Evan Williams recorded the other. After the game, Brady joked with Williams that Maye had supplied the defenders with “deli meat.” Williams laughed and said Maye had given Green Bay gifts.

McKinney’s first interception came in the opening quarter, on a deep pass intended for Mack Hollins; he returned it 36 yards. Williams and McKinney added their interceptions in the second quarter. Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love completed 23 of 29 attempts for 372 yards and three touchdowns, without an interception.

Brady, who played most of his career in New England and won six Super Bowls with the team, had greeted Maye before the game. Maye is in his second NFL season and is tasked with leading the Patriots after the team’s recent return to the Super Bowl, which ended in a loss to Seattle. New England’s next results will come amid high expectations and a close division race.
