With the Patriots not starting the season well, it's understandable that some fans are a bit worried about this game.

The Bills have been one of the best teams in the NFL over the past couple of years, similar to how the Patriots played last season, but with this game in Buffalo and New England playing the type of football they have, it'll be interesting to see how things go.

The biggest question is how Drake Maye will look.

Maye has struggled immensely to start the season, playing as one of the league's worst quarterbacks.

There's a strong argument that he's been the worst quarterback in football, at least over the first three weeks of the season, with six interceptions and just 51 completions on 80 passes.

Speaking to reporters, however, it's clear he's still well respected around the league. That includes his peers and arguably the best quarterback in football, Josh Allen.

"Listen, Drake's a smart kid, extremely talented," Allen said, per Alex Brasky, H/T USA Today. "He's going to figure it out. He's got the work ethic. I've got a lot of respect for him and what he's been able to do in his early career. But he'll find a way out of it."

Despite the struggles that we've seen from Maye throughout the start of the campaign, Allen and the Bills know better than to take him and this team lightly.

All Maye needs is a couple of early completions to get going, as he proved a season ago to be one of the best quarterbacks in football. Just because he struggled a bit this year doesn't mean that's going to continue, and it sounds like Allen and Buffalo understand that.
