This game will feature some of this year’s best rookie quarterbacks. Jayden Daniels has already been named the starter in Washington, but Drake Maye continues to engage in a position battle with veteran Jacoby Brissett. Don’t expect a clash of quarterbacks, though, as the Commanders have already announced that Daniels will not play. For the Patriots, Brissett is expected to start, with Maye expected to enter the game later.

Depending on where you live, tracking down Patriots preseason games can be difficult. Fortunately for those who live in New England, the game will be broadcast in most areas as part of the Patriots preseason TV network.
