In a thrilling matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium, rookie quarterback Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to a strong start, throwing a 16-yard touchdown pass to running back JaMycal Hasty. This marked the Patriots' first opening drive that resulted in points this season. Maye's composure under pressure was evident as he effectively handled a third-down blitz, showcasing his potential as a starting quarterback in the NFL.

The New England Patriots have officially ruled out running back Rhamondre Stevenson for their upcoming game against the Houston Texans due to a foot injury. This absence comes after Stevenson missed the week of practice leading up to the game. As a result, rookie quarterback Drake Maye will not have his top running back available for his first career start. Antonio Gibson is expected to take the lead in the backfield, with JaMycal Hasty moving up the depth chart and a practice squad running back likely being promoted.

Initial X-rays on Stevenson's right ankle were negative and the belief is that the running back's MRI will reveal a sprain. The results of Stevenson's MRI thus loom large, but with the Patriots on a short week and playing again Thursday against the Steelers, the running back's Week 14 status is cloudy.
