The New England Patriots benched rookie quarterback Drake Maye during a dominant performance against the New York Jets, replacing him with veteran Joshua Dobbs. Maye had achieved significant success, completing 19 of 21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns. Coach Mike Vrabel indicated the decision was made in the third quarter with the Patriots leading comfortably, allowing Dobbs game time as planned, similar to a previous instance against the Titans.
