Claim 3: “Drake Maye's 3 touchdown passes in each of his last two games haven't been done since 2018”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence confirms Drake Maye threw 3 touchdown passes in a game against the Texans, there is no evidence provided in the search results or Wikipedia that confirms he did so in 'each of his last two games' or that this is a feat not achieved since 2018. One source mentions a record regarding rushing and touchdowns in a first career start, but not the specific consecutive game TD record claimed.

Claim 4: “Esteban Ocon has been an ever-present on the Formula One grid since his debut for Manor Racing at the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix.”
DISPUTED
While the claim correctly identifies his debut at the 2016 Belgian Grand Prix with Manor Racing, the evidence from Formula 1 Wiki explicitly states that Ocon 'served as a test driver for Mercedes in 2019', meaning he was not on the racing grid for that season. Therefore, he has not been 'ever-present' on the grid since his debut.
