The New England Patriots have more momentum behind them ahead of Sunday’s international game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
One obvious reason for that is Drake Maye starting at quarterback. The rookie first-round draft pick gives the team a better chance to win. In one start, he opened up the passing attack in ways the Patriots haven’t seen all season.
There’s hope he can continue that effort against the NFL’s worst passing defense. The Jaguars are allowing 276.7 passing yards per game to opponents this season, and it could lead to big opportunities for a Patriots team that doesn’t look as sluggish as it did before Week 6.
Let’s take a look at who’s stock is up and who’s stock is down for New England heading into Sunday’s game against the Jaguars.
