The New England Patriots are back at Gillette Stadium, where rookie Drake Maye will make his first career NFL appearance. After five weeks of poor offensive production, the team will turn to the No. 3 overall pick in hopes of getting them back in the win column for the first time since Week 1.

It won’t be easy, as reigning NFL Rookie of the Year CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans are on the other sideline, who may be the blueprint for New England as their own rebuild is underway.

First quarter

The Patriots won the coin toss and deferred, putting the defense on the field first. CJ Stroud and the Texans got right to work as the QB completed his first three passes to get just outside the red zone. Stroud then found Stefon Diggs for 13 yards on third down to put Houston at the five. They were then faced with another third down, where a pass interference penalty on Marte Mapu moved the ball to one. Two plays later, Stroud found Tank Dell in the end zone for an early score.

Drake Maye took the field to a standing ovation that quickly turned to boos after two consecutive handoffs to Antonio Gibson. Maye’s first pass of the day on third down was then thrown away, leading to a punt.

A 40-yard punt from Bryce Baringer and a 19-yard return from Sims had the Texans attacking across midfield on their next drive. New England’s third-down troubles then continued, as Tank Dell again beat man coverage by moving the chains on a 12-yard crosser. Stroud’s legs then brought Houston into the red zone. On the next third down, another DPI penalty – this one on Marcus Jones – moved the chains again before Stroud found Mixon out of the end zone for a touchdown. (Patriots 0:14 Texans)

A play-action boot on Kendrick Bourne’s first down got New England’s offense going, but it was all downhill from there. A run tackle resulted in a third down, with Maye overshooting an open Pop Douglas and the pass was intercepted.

Second quarter

The Patriots defense took over at the New England 27-yard line and got a much-needed stop. Ka’imi Fairbairn then pushed a 40-yard field goal wide left.

After the miss, a first-down scramble by Maye picked up 11 yards to move the chains for the first time. A pair of penalties on New England’s tackles then helped them to a 3rd and 11, where Maye was sacked by Will Anderson.

Back with the ball, Joe Mixon took the first play 59 yards down the ground and set up just outside the red zone. Two plays later, a Marte Mapu break was caught by Marcus Jones in the end zone for an interception.
