Patriots Maintain Brissett as Starting Quarterback

The New England Patriots are maintaining Jacoby Brissett as their starting quarterback despite his struggles in a 24-3 loss to the New York Jets and the brief debut of rookie Drake Maye. Coach Jerod Mayo emphasized that Brissett remains QB1, though he acknowledged the constant evaluation of the team's situation. Brissett faced significant pressure due to a weakened offensive line, completing 12 of 18 passes for 98 yards and being sacked five times. Maye, drafted third overall, played the final minutes, completing 4 of 8 passes for 22 yards and was sacked twice. Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt stressed that Maye would benefit from watching Brissett for now, but the coaching staff will continue to assess the quarterback position weekly.
