Curran: Why Patriots would be right to start Brissett in Week 1 originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots' quarterback competition will continue through Sunday's preseason finale vs. the Washington Commanders, but offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt appears to have a clear preference for his Week 1 starter.
On Thursday, Van Pelt reiterated that Jacoby Brissett -- not Drake Maye -- is on track to start the regular-season opener.
"Jacoby," he replied when asked what's keeping Maye from getting more reps with the starting offense.
