Why is Joshua Dobbs playing QB for Patriots, not Drake Maye?
Dobbs is in so the Pats can keep Maye healthy.
Mike Vrabel pulled his QB with a 42-3 lead.
Maye had already done more than enough.
The rising star completed 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran three times for 22 yards.
Maye's final pass was his fifth TD, this one a 10-yarder to Efton Chism III.
He got to take the rest of the day off.
