Opinion·Week 5
Maye had the week Hefner wanted, and it still was not enough.
Lamar is out with the ankle, so Maye started and put up 39. Fuss is up 18 with two players left.

Still talking about Hefner losing by 1.78.
Drake Maye had 39.46, which is the quarterback week this roster has been waiting on, and Hefner is still going to lose. The players who have already played finished at 113.26. Fuss is at 131 with Puka and Cook yet to go, so the win on the other side is already there. Lamar is out with the ankle, Saquon is out, and A.J. Brown is on IR, which means Maye was the start because the other quarterback could not play. He played. Henry had 20 and Taylor had 8.2, so the backs were not the story this time. The quarterback was, and it still was not enough points.
When the standings move he will be 1–4, which is a hard record to set next to a 39-point quarterback, and it is still the record. Week 6 is Greer, who just put up 138. You do not bench the quarterback who finally had the week because the week came up short around him. The backs are still why this team is where it is on the board. They just did not have their Sunday.
