The New England Patriots have officially entered the Drake Maye era as the rookie quarterback made his debut against the Houston Texans in Week 6, replacing veteran Jacoby Brissett after a disappointing 1-4 start.
Maye showcased his potential, completing 20 of 33 passes for 243 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, despite the Patriots losing 41-21. His performance, while better than Brissett's previous outings, was marred by turnovers and a struggling offensive line.
Maye's first touchdown came just before halftime, connecting with Kayshon Boutte, and he later threw touchdowns to Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas. However, the Patriots' inability to maintain momentum ultimately sealed their fate against a strong Texans team.
