New England Patriots NEED Drake Maye to be Better, Matt Stafford Still Out & Tyler Shough Must Shine

The New England Patriots have had ups and downs on offense during the summer and Week 1 of the preseason was not their best. That is why Drake Maye and crew need to have a good showing against the tough defense of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings need to see more out of their quarterback, JJ McCarthy, as well. To the west coast, we will see two rivalries. First, the Los Angeles Rams still have no answers on Matthew Stafford's back and it is becoming a concern. The Los Angeles Chargers have their own injuries to worry about. The San Francisco 49ers need to get more out of Brock Purdy with all they have lost and the Las Vegas Raiders need to measure themselves against a good roster before kickoff. Finally, all eyes on rookie QBs like Cam Ward, Tyler Shough, Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe with Shedeur Sanders likely sitting out due to injury.
