take the field against the Green Bay Packers (-9.5) on Sunday afternoon, they will be led by Brian Hoyer. With starter Mac Jones ruled out due to an ankle injury sustained a week ago, the team will turn to its veteran backup quarterback.
The start will be the 40th of Hoyer’s career in the NFL, but only his second as a member of the Patriots. His last one, of course, was a debacle.
on the road, Hoyer went 15-for-24 for 130 yards and a pair of turnovers. He also cost the team three points when he allowed himself to get sacked to run out the clock before the half.
