Patriots QB Bailey Zappe Gets First TD Pass: WATCH

It has not been the easiest of times for New England Patriots quarterbacks, as of late.

With incumbent starter Mac Jones continuing to recover from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 4, primary backup Brian Hoyer got the nod for New England’s matchup with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.

However, Hoyer would only last for two offensive series before leaving the game with a head injury.

Making his pro debut in what could only be described as a ‘trial by fire,’ Zappe earned his first NFL touchdown on a 25-yard pass to Pats receiver DeVante Parker.
