New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye bounced back from a second-quarter interception to engineer an impressive scoring drive Sunday against the Chicago Bears, which culminated with a 2-yard touchdown pass to receiver Ja'Lynn Polk.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been impressed with the play of Drake Maye. The rookie quarterback went 29-of-41 passing for 206 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in last week's loss to the Tennessee Titans.
