The New England Patriots are making a significant change as rookie quarterback Drake Maye is set to start in Week 6 against the Houston Texans. This decision comes after underwhelming performances from Jacoby Brissett, who struggled to lead the team effectively.

Maye, the No. 3 overall pick, showcased potential during the preseason, prompting the team to reconsider their initial plan of having him sit behind Brissett. With a struggling offensive line and limited skill-position talent, the Patriots hope Maye's mobility and downfield passing ability will revitalize their offense.
