New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has found solace in throwing to tight ends this season.
That was evident once again with his touchdown pass to veteran tight end Austin Hooper, who gave the Patriots the lead with a diving grab in the first half of Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Maye pushed the throw through several Colts defenders for the 16-yard touchdown. It capped an eight-play, 70-yard drive that lasted 4:34. The touchdown grab was Hooper's second touchdown of the season as he continues to be a reliable second option for the Patriots' offense.

Several offensive line penalties hurt the offense throughout the game. Nevertheless, they were able to achieve some success. Maye keeps plays alive and constantly finds his open receivers.
