FOXBOROUGH — 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.

Patriots training camp kicked up a notch on Monday, as the team put pads on for the first time this summer. One player returned from an injury, while another left the field.

The Jets just signed the guy who led the NFL in field goal percentage the past two years. That would be the same kicker the Patriots once traded away.

The Jets have gotten kicker Harrison Mevis some competition during training, as they reunited with former Pro Bowler Nick Folk.
