The New England Patriots have confirmed that Jacoby Brissett will remain the starting quarterback for Week 4, despite being benched for the final drive in their loss to the Jets. Head coach Jerod Mayo emphasized that Brissett is still their quarterback until he decides otherwise, praising his toughness and grit in the game. While rookie Drake Maye made his NFL debut in the last drive, Mayo did not commit to who the starting quarterback would be against the 49ers. Maye, who received 30 percent of practice reps, could potentially start in the future as the team evaluates their options. Brissett faced challenges with pass protection in the game, being sacked five times and pressured on over half of his dropbacks. Despite the tough night, Mayo stated that the focus is on improving to a 2-2 record and supporting Brissett as the starter. Maye showed promise in his limited action, displaying athleticism and composure in running the offense. The Patriots will continue to assess and make decisions based on performance as they prepare for upcoming games.
