After acquiring A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles, the New England Patriots thought the wide receiver would be the Randy Moss to quarterback Drake Maye’s Tom Brady. They’ve been far from that.
Maye and Brown suffered injuries in the Patriots’ 35-10 loss to the Detroit Lions in Munich on Sunday. Maye suffered an ankle injury after Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson sacked him in the first quarter. The QB was eventually ruled out.
Brown, meanwhile, exited in the second half because of a hamstring issue. Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, the WR exited the locker room with a limp and declined to speak to the media.
The status of the QB and WR remains uncertain. Regardless, it has to be frustrating for both. They were hoping to generate offensive fireworks for the Patriots this season, and they haven’t.
