The Buccaneers are 5-1 on the season, with the performance of their quarterback in Week 6 playing a major role.
Maye and the Patriots have now won three consecutive games, with New England’s second-year quarterback leading his team to victory against the New Orleans Saints.
Completing nearly 70% of his passes in the road triumph, Maye threw for 261 yards and a trio of first-half touchdowns — two of which went to Kayshon Boutte — as the Patriots came out on top 25-19. Maye became the first Patriots player to throw for 250 yards and three touchdowns in a victory since Tom Brady (Oct. 6, 2019).
It was another huge week for Dowdle as the Carolina Panthers earned a win over his former team, the Dallas Cowboys.
The running back enjoyed a productive day both receiving (four receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown) and rushing (183 yards on 30 carries) as the Panthers posted a 30-27 win after a game-winning field goal by Ryan Fitzgerald. Dowdle’s 239 scrimmage yards marked the most by any player against a former team since yards were first tracked in 1933.
