What happened: Maye threw three interceptions in the season-opening loss to Seattle, ending with a game-sealing pick. Julian Love secured one of the takeaways for the Seahawks defense.
Why it matters: The 0-1 start puts early pressure on third-year development. Vrabel pointed to forcing throws while chasing touchdowns.
By the numbers: Maye: 3 INT in opener, including game-ender vs Seattle; Love: 1 INT; Patriots: 0-1.
What to watch: Next is Sunday's Patriots-Bills game on CBS, with ball security the immediate test.
