FOXBOROUGH — Odds are that there were plenty of ice bags waiting in Jacoby Brissett’s locker after the Patriots’ 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
The 31-year-old quarterback was sacked three times by Seattle’s pass rush, while also dealt another eight bone-crunching hits into the Gillette Stadium turf.
Even with the Seahawks’ relentless onslaught, Brissett still managed to keep New England’s offense off the ropes — especially in the first half.
The crafty veteran routinely extended plays by using his legs, escaping pressure within the pocket by rolling out and improvising with several throws on the run.
