Jacoby Brissett to remain Patriots starting quarterback ahead of Drake Maye

Following the New England Patriots’ 24-3 loss to the New York Jets Thursday night, head coach Jerod Mayo was non-committal about a potential quarterback change.

Speaking to the media Friday morning, Mayo made it clear the team will be rolling with veteran Jacoby Brissett.

“Jacoby is our quarterback until I say he’s not the quarterback. I thought last night, he showed a lot of toughness, a lot of grit on protection breakdowns,” Mayo said.

After completing just 12-of-18 passes for 98 yards as pressure (five sacks) continued to be a factor, Brissett was sat down late in the fourth quarter for Drake Maye.
