“Straight up BALLING”: New England Patriots rookie QB Bailey Zappe has a stellar debut despite a loss against the Packers

The New England Patriots may have found yet another underrated gem in the draft. The team is in a bad position when it comes to quarterbacks as starter Mac Jones is injured and Brian Hoyer who was supposed to substitute for him also ended up getting knocked out of the game after he took a hard hit after being sacked in the game against the Green Bay Packers.

This left the Patriots with no option but to revert to rookie Bailey Zappe as he is the only quarterback who was fit to play. Though this may have dampened the spirits of Patriots fans initially, it went on to be the best decision that the team has taken in a long time. Bailey Zappe came out a confident quarterback and killed it, he ended up going toe-to-toe with Aaron Rodgers and took the game to overtime.

Impressive feat from a quarterback who was not expected to get much playing time this season.

Not what we wanted but it was definitely something that we all needed.
