New England will play its first game of the Drake Maye era on Sunday.
It’s the dawn of a new era in New England. The Patriots will start rookie Drake Maye at quarterback this week against the Houston Texans, giving the first-round pick his first ever chance to prove himself in extended action.
The challenge at hand won’t be easy, though. At 1-4, the Patriots are one of the worst teams in the NFL right now. The Texans, on the other hand, have won four of their first five games this season and are one of the top teams in the AFC at the moment.
Kickoff between the Patriots and Texans at Gillette Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, Oct. 13.
