New England’s offense took many steps forward in Sunday’s 19-3 win over the Bears.
While Drake Maye secured his first win as the team’s QB1, several other areas on offense finally followed in lockstep with their promising quarterback.
New England’s run game rebounded behind a 74-yard effort from Rhamondre Stevenson. Three different receivers finished with at least 40 yards through the air. Ja’Lynn Polk finally found some traction by reeling in a two-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter.
But amid all of those gains, veteran wideout Kendrick Bourne found himself stapled to the bench.
