Bailey Zappe, a fourth-round draft pick in April’s NFL draft, was pressed into duty for the first time in his career. Hoyer started the game for the Patriots because Mac Jones is out with an ankle injury, reportedly a high ankle sprain.
Hoyer, 36, made his first start since 2020. He is in his 14th NFL season and third stint with the Patriots. He completed 5 of 6 passes for 37 yards before exiting.
