Are the Patriots ramping up for Drake Maye’s first start?

As calls to start rookie Drake Maye continue to build, Jerod Mayo offered a frank assessment of Jacoby Brissett’s play in Sunday’s 15-10 loss to Miami.

Brissett has gone without a touchdown in three of the five games he has started for New England this season. He was 18-for-34 for 160 yards against the Dolphins.

“It just wasn’t good enough,” Mayo said. “I thought we played well enough defensively and on special teams to win the football game.”

“Look, as the quarterback, and he understands this, he touches the ball on every single play and we didn’t win the game, or score enough points to win the game.
