Drake Maye will therefore have waited five games before taking power. NFL Media announces that the rookie will replace Jacoby Brissett as starting quarterback for the Patriots' next game, this Sunday against the Texans.
The 22-year-old will directly face a big challenge, since Houston is one of the best teams in the NFL at the start of the season, with four victories and only one defeat.
Above all, Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter and their teammates are 7th in the rate of pressure put on the opposing quarterback. They have already managed 15 sacks in five games, the 8th total in the league.
Drake Maye to revive the attack
If Jerod Mayo takes the risk of starting Drake Maye against an excellent Houston team, it is mainly because the New England attack is in agony. She is even last in the NFL in passing. In five games, Jacoby Brissett has not exceeded 200 yards once. He also only threw two touchdown passes.
Overall, the Patriots offense is 31st in points scored. She has not passed the 20-unit mark once since the start of the season.
Selected in the third round of the last Draft, Maye was rather to his advantage in preseason. So much so that his coach admitted that he was better than Brissett, creating a little misunderstanding in his communication.
