Terry Bradshaw, speaking on Fox NFL Sunday ahead of the Patriots’ matchup with the Buffalo Bills, says the New England Patriots should consider benching quarterback Drake Maye if he continues to struggle. Multiple outlets report Bradshaw’s comments were directed at the Patriots’ quarterback situation as the team prepares for games.
The reports frame the suggestion as advice rather than a direct decision by the team. The Oregonian adds that Bradshaw’s remarks prompt immediate debate, including pushback from former NFL player Michael Strahan and from fans who argue that Maye should continue playing through an early-season slump rather than being benched.
While Newsweek and the New York Post emphasize Bradshaw’s call as the key takeaway and note the timing around the Patriots-Bills game, the Oregonian focuses more on the broader reaction and disagreement that follows. Together, the coverage centers on Bradshaw’s recommendation and the public discussion it triggers among commentators and supporters.
