Patriots Start Rookie QB Maye for Texans Game

The New England Patriots have decided to start rookie quarterback Drake Maye over veteran Jacoby Brissett in their Week 6 game against the Houston Texans. This decision comes after the team struggled with a 1-4 record and Brissett's lackluster performance, which included only two passing touchdowns and a high sack rate due to offensive line issues. Head coach Jerod Mayo believes Maye offers a better chance to win, emphasizing his improvement since training camp. While some view this as a necessary spark for the struggling offense, others criticize it as a risky move given Maye's inexperience and the team's ongoing offensive line problems. Despite the change, Brissett remains a respected leader and mentor within the team. The Patriots hope Maye's athleticism can help revitalize an offense that currently ranks last in several key metrics.
