Patriots coach Jerod Mayo had a frank discussion with the offensive line after a dismal performance against the Jets on Thursday night that resulted in seven sacks allowed.
Starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett was hit on more plays than just the five sacks on the stat sheet. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye took his share of hits during his limited action at the end of the game.
The offensive line, which had held up relatively well compared to what was expected over the first two games, had a meltdown Thursday night.
“It’s a very upfront conversation,” Mayo said.
