CBS celebrates Drake Mayes’ first career tackle, which came after his first INT

Drake Maye made his first career start on Sunday as the New England Patriots took on the Houston Texans. After losing four straight games before replacing Jacoby Brissett in favor of the rookie, New England fans were optimistic that Maye could provide a spark.

Instead, he threw an interception on his third career pass attempt. The good news is that he was able to showcase his tackling skills as he tracked down Calen Bullock to make his first career tackle, a fact that CBS touted on social media.

When the best thing your quarterback does on his first drive is rush up and make a solid tackle after an interception, you know things aren’t going well, which is why it’s no surprise that the Texans are after the Leading 14-0 in the first quarter.
