Former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman was impressed with the performance of Bailey Zappe on Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Lions. One play caught his eye in particular.
The quarterback threw a 24-yard strike to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers for a touchdown. The touchdown put the Patriots up 26-0. It was Meyers’ first touchdown of the season and added to a day that saw him record over 100 receiving yards.
That was Zappe’s second touchdown of the season, after throwing his previous one on the road last week at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Edelman needed only one word when showing his approval via Twitter, as the Patriots continued to take a commanding lead.
Zappeness 🙌

The Patriots could use Sunday’s performance against the Detroit Lions as a momentum-builder, when they take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 6.
