What happened: The New England Patriots held a Thursday walkthrough at the FC Bayern Munich Training Ground following their morning arrival in Germany. The trip marks the franchise's sixth international game as quarterback Drake Maye prepares for media availability in Munich. Tight end Hunter Henry noted that travel can challenge internal body clocks during the preparation week.

Why it matters: Maye has completed 178 of 272 passes for 2282 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2026 through 9 games. Even with double-digit turnovers, his scoring volume and efficiency demonstrate clear franchise-caliber command in his second professional campaign. That level of high-impact production justifies ranking him among the top ten quarterbacks across the league.
