After four straight losses, the New England Patriots are switching quarterbacks.
No. 3 draft pick Drake Maye has replaced this season's original starting quarterback, Jacoby Brissett, and will be on the field for this weekend's clash against the Houston Texans.
Since the preseason, there has been rampant speculation about whether Maye would take over as starting quarterback, egged on by when head coach Jerod Mayo said Maye outplayed Brissett during the preseason. For the start of the regular season though, Mayo favored Brissett's experience. And more many former Patriots players like Julian Edelman said Brissett was the right move pointing to stars such as Tom Brady who began their NFL careers on the bench.
