Tom Brady could not help but offer a strong critique of Drake Maye's performance against the Green Bay Packers.

Maye once again had a turbulent outing in the New England Patriots' 45-27 loss to the Packers, completing 21-of-38 pass attempts for 299 yards with three touchdowns. The star also threw three interceptions as the Patriots allowed the most points at home in a regular-season game this century.

After New England's loss, Brady did not mince his words about Maye's play against the Packers' defense, using a phrase that seemed to underscore just how poorly the 24-year-old performed in a pivotal game.

Speaking to Evan Williams, Brady's "LFG Player of the Game," the seven-time Super Bowl champion stated, "You guys were both flying around your, your secondary mate, your safety mate, Xavier [McKinney] had two picks. You had one on the sideline. There was some deli meat given out by Drake May today."

Immediately after hearing Brady, a laughing Williams replied, "I'm not gone say that. But uh, he was giving us some gifts for sure." Brady added, "There were a few out there, and you made them pay."

Speaking to reporters after the game, Maye took ownership of his poor play, especially as the Patriots continue to struggle to gain any momentum. What's more, the star tied Los Angeles Chargers star quarterback Justin Herbert in most picks thrown this season with 11.

"Yeah, we haven't had a clean turnover-free game yet," Maye began. "You know, starting with me, man, it's one of the biggest differences between winning and losing football games. And so, you know, put our defense in a bad spot, you know, in the first drive.

"And just, you know, gave them the football and had some other chances, you know, down the field. And you got to see in front. I got to see in front.

The 24-year-old also claimed that he was "just a little late" throughout the game as he attempted to get into the flow of the game in his own way. "And, you know, I was just trying to, you know, I feel like we got into a throwing game. That's partly because of what we did, you know, offensively and to the team," he continued.

"And then we didn't really get to, you know, bid off the run game. And I think we just got to start the game and, you know, me specifically start better."

As for what he saw that led to his turnovers, Maye kept it simple.

"Yeah, just throwing the football in spots that I don't think I should've thrown it," he added.

"The first one, I think, I just gotta see the guys deep, see the safe positions. The second one happens, we may have thrown it a little farther. And the third one, like I said, they're jumping crossing routes, so I gotta see in front."
