The Patriots are making a quarterback change, reportedly naming 2024 No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye as their new starter and benching Jacoby Brissett.
The New England Patriots are making a change at starting quarterback. Drake Maye will make his first NFL start when the Patriots host the Houston Texans on Sunday, NFL Media reported. Jacoby Brissett had started the first five games of the season, but the Patriots went 1-4 as the veteran threw for just 696 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Their offensive line has underperformed as they've dealt with injuries and poor play, allowing Brissett to be sacked 17 times in six games. Brissett had also been pressured on 50% of his dropbacks, a league-high, according to Next Gen Stats. Maye was sacked twice in the one drive he played against the Jets. Now, the Patriots will see if Maye's dual-threat ability will help negate the poor play of their offensive line.
