"The New England Patriots appear to be trending in the right direction after a 2-2 start to the 2025 regular season, and the good news is that some of the team's big-name players have been right in the driver's seat. Quarterback Drake Maye has shown clear signs of a Year 2 jump, entering Week 5 ranked sixth in the NFL in passing yards (988), tied for eighth in touchdown passes (7), and fifth overall in passer rating (109.4). Top free agent signings on defense, like defensive end Milton Williams and EDGE rusher Harold Landry, have already proven to be difference-makers. And the team has also gotten solid returns from its 2025 rookie class, with No. 4 overall pick Will Campbell at the forefront."
"In his 159 snaps in pass protection this season, Moses has surrendered eight QB pressures (tied for second-most on the team) and one sack, per Pro Football Focus. More concerning has been his three pre-snap penalties. You'd expect those kinds of growing pains from a rookie like Campbell, but not from a 34-year-old vet like Moses. He had light training camp participation this summer, and he appears to be improving with each game."
The New England Patriots are 2-2 early in the 2025 season with encouraging but uneven signs. Quarterback Drake Maye has shown a Year 2 jump, ranking sixth in passing yards (988), tied for eighth in touchdowns (7), and fifth in passer rating (109.4) entering Week 5. Defensive free-agent additions Milton Williams and Harold Landry have been difference-makers. Rookie returns, led by No. 4 pick Will Campbell, have been solid. The team suffered ugly home losses to the Raiders and Steelers, and several expected impact players have started slowly. Right tackle Morgan Moses has allowed eight QB pressures, one sack, and three pre-snap penalties across 159 pass-protection snaps, but appears to be improving each game after limited training camp participation.
