​FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots routed the Raiders on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium as Drake Maye returned to MVP-candidate form. The third-year quarterback accounted for 399 yards of offense (374 passing, 25 rushing) and five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) as New England cruised to a 45-17 win.Here are notes from a dominant Patriots win in Foxborough: Crosby kept in checkHigh-end pass rushers have given the Patriots some headaches in the past. That wasn’t the case with Maxx Crosby. New England’s offensive line was excellent against the five-time Pro Bowler, as one of the keys to Maye’s dominance was the time he had in the pocket. Crosby’s two most noteworthy plays were picking up a 15-yard penalty for headbutting Cory Durden and getting burned by Hunter Henry on a tight end screen. He finished with one tackle and two quarterback hits. Morgan Moses did yeoman’s work on Crosby for much of the afternoon.“Hell of a football player,” Moses said. “You know it’s going to be a 60 minute battle. It doesn’t matter what the score is, he’s going to rush the passer. That’s a guy that you’ve gotta detail throughout the week and understand where he’s going to be at. It takes all 11.” Maye highlighted the protection he was given when discussing his 35-yard first quarter touchdown to DeMario Douglas. “I’m back there — credit to the offensive line — eating a ham sandwich,” Maye said. “So I got all day back there.” On that touchdown, the Raiders rushed four and couldn’t get near Maye. Crosby tried a stunt with the defensive tackle, but when he looped inside, center Jared Wilson was ready to pick him up. “It takes six or seven guys in protection to help out,” Moses said. “When we are connected and we go out there and do it together, this is what it looks like.”Maye was only sacked once in the 45-17 blowout. Secondary holds strongThe Patriots were so beleaguered in the secondary that they began the game with only three active cornerbacks, including Kindle Vildor, who was signed from the practice squad on Saturday. When Charles Woods left with a shoulder injury, they were forced to play with two corners and four safeties in their dime packages, but still found a way.

The corner held up well in coverage and forced a fumble. Maye often breaks the team down, but he had Vildor do it after the win. “I’m just happy to be a part of the team, man,” Vildor said. “Grateful and thankful for the opportunity. I’ve been through a lot. Happy I can come out here and help you all win. Let’s keep stacking more wins.”Injuries continue to mountIn addition to Woods, the Patriots lost Will Campbell (knee), Dre’Mont Jones (shoulder) and TreVeyon Henderson (ankle). Campbell went down in the second quarter when he was rolled up on a running
