The New England Patriots have hit a rough patch, losing four games in a row and struggling with the league's worst passing game. With their season on the line, they’re turning to rookie quarterback Drake Maye, known for his strong arm and quick thinking outside the pocket. Maye will make his NFL debut against the tough Texans this Sunday.

Last week, the Patriots faced heat for keeping Maye on the bench, despite some players pushing for a change from current QB Jacoby Brissett. This week, they lost to divisional rivals, the Miami Dolphins, and had to tackle a captain’s legal issues.

Coach Bill Mayo thinks Maye is ready. He’s been impressed by the rookie’s smarts and work ethic. Despite the tough situation, Maye could be the spark the Patriots need to turn things around. But will it be enough to save their season? Only time can tell.

Maye’s promotion comes at a crucial moment. The team desperately needs a win, and they’re banking on their new quarterback to deliver. The Texans, who were in the playoffs last year and have a strong defense, will be a tough challenge. However, if Maye can show off his skills, it could change the game for the Patriots.
