In his first regular-season action, Joe Milton led New England on a 13-play, 55-yard touchdown drive, completing all six passing attempts and showcasing his skills.
Drake Maye's rookie season was cut short after one series against the Bills, leading the Patriots to pivot to Joe Milton for the remainder of the game.
The decision to pull Maye helps ensure he finishes the season without injury, especially after suffering a sack that raised concerns about his health.
By giving Milton valuable playing time, the Patriots are assessing if he can become the backup to Maye, rather than seeking an expensive veteran replacement.
