Patriots Get Shutout Win Over Lions

The Patriots improved to 2-3 on the season with their 29-0 shutout win over the Lions on Sunday. New England who is still without injured QB Mac Jones, and backup QB Brian Hoyer, relied on rookie Bailey Zappe to lead them out of the huddle. Zappe got his first career TD on Sunday, threw for 188 yards with 1 interception. Not a bad start to his career.
