F OXBOROUGH — It was a hot day at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday as the New England Patriots took the field for the second straight padded practice. The competition is certainly ramping up, but it was the defense that came out on top during the sixth training camp session.

Drake Maye completed a little less than half of his passes in 11-on-11 and 7-on-7 drills. He had another botched snap late in the practice, this time with veteran Garrett Bradbury. Coach Mike Vrabel didn’t make the team run for the mistake, opting to keep the practice moving and sub in the second-stringers.

Dan Roche brings you the takeaways from the sixth practice of Patriots training camp, which was the team's longest practice this summer.
