After making his NFL debut in a lopsided loss to the Jets in Week 3, Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye did not play against the 49ers Sunday.
Coach Jerod Mayo said after the game that he did not consider playing Maye during the 30-13 loss, and on Monday morning, he told reporters that Jacoby Brissett remains the starting quarterback.
“Jacoby is 100 percent our starter,” Mayo said. “He’s 100 percent our starter and that’s how we’re going to look at this going forward.”
During his weekly radio interview on WEEI, Mayo acknowledged that his decision to keep Maye on the bench may be frustrating to those who follow the team.
