The Patriots have stayed behind the chains throughout the first half and that did not change on their fourth possession.
Starting with the ball on their own 35-yard line, TreVeyon Henderson ran for a 3-yard gain on first down.
But quarterback Drake Maye was sacked for a third time in the game on second-and-7, with rookie defensive end Rylie Mills bringing down Maye and left guard Jared Wilson for a 10-yard loss.
Stefon Diggs caught a short pass for a 5-yard gain on third down, but the drive was effectively over after that sack.
Maye is just 5-of-7 for 39 yards with 9:16 left in the first half, as Seattle’s defense has been stifling.
