The New England Patriots needed a spark offensively, and they were able to get one towards the end of the first half. Quarterback Bailey Zappe threw a pass to rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte that went for a long touchdown.
The quarterback made the most of his time in the game and found Boutte on what began as an intermediate route. From there, the receiver took matters into his own hands, showcasing his speed on a 42-yard slant for the score.
The touchdown ended what was a seven-play, 85-yard drive that took just over two minutes off the clock.

The 2023 Patriots rookie class has made an impact to this point. It will be interesting to see if Boutte can make any more headway in the wide receiver room. If so, the wideout could be one of the bigger steals of the 2023 NFL draft.
