"But the players replacing the injured rookies, one of whom was Vederian Lowe, outperformed any expectations that had been set. The concerns surrounding Lowe were particularly highlighted in the days leading up to the Week 13 matchup, primarily due to his performance during the 2024 season. Because he'd be filling in at left tackle, protecting Drake Maye's blind side, it was crucial he didn't struggle too much, and from what was seen on Monday night, he accomplished that and more, and deserves the recognition."
"Although the Giants' defense might not be considered one of the strongest in the NFL, they have a defensive front made up of some of the best pass rushers in the league today, including Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. That was quite a first test for the new offensive line grouping, despite having more experience with Maye from the 2024 season, and they delivered at a level that not many anticipated, especially Lowe."
Two Patriots starting linemen, Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, will miss significant time, prompting backups to start. The replacement group faced the Giants' defensive front, featuring pass rushers Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Vederian Lowe filled in at left tackle to protect Drake Maye's blind side amid concerns from his 2024 performance. Lowe started shaky but became consistently productive and more accurate than he had been, helping the line limit pressures. PFF charting credited Lowe with two hurries and teammates with only one hurry each or clean snaps, signaling a surprisingly solid performance against a strong defensive line.
