The New England Patriots are turning things over to Drake Maye, and his first shot will come against the AFC South-leading Houston Texans.
The first-round draft pick is replacing Jacoby Brissett as the starter in the hopes that he can snap the Patriots’ four-game losing streak. But he’ll have to do it against one of the NFL’s toughest defenses.
"There’s never a perfect time to make a change," Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said this week after announcing the swap. "Every defense that we play ... they all have the ability to rush and get after the quarterback. So, I don’t think there’s ever a perfect time."
But the Texans (4-1) will pose an especially difficult challenge for Maye and the makeshift New England (1-4) offensive line that has started five different combinations in five games. Houston pressures the quarterback more than any other team in the league – 42% of dropbacks, according to NFL NextGen stats.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said there’s a challenge in facing an unknown such as Maye, who was 4 of 8 for 22 yards in mopup duty against the New York Jets in Week 3.
"What I’ve seen is a young, athletic quarterback who has a live arm, can move around really well in the pocket, can escape the pressures," Ryans said. "Them, making that move, (they’re) looking for a spark for their offense, and he can provide it."
