The calls for Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots to start rookie quarterback Drake Maye are growing louder following another dismal offensive performance.

Veteran QB Jacoby Brissett has struggled to move the Pats offense downfield this season, particularly in the team's 24-3 loss to the New York Jets in Week 3 and 30-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. Meanwhile, Maye has reportedly impressed his teammates in recent practices and looked like the "real deal" as New England's next franchise signal-caller.
