Following their loss to the Dolphins, the New England Patriots are facing uncertainty at the quarterback position for their upcoming game against the Texans. Head coach Jerod Mayo has not yet decided whether Jacoby Brissett or rookie Drake Maye will start in Week 6. Brissett has struggled recently, with the passing attack faltering and the team not winning since Week 1.
Mayo stated that the team is being evaluated daily, and there is a possibility of making a change at quarterback. Despite previously endorsing Brissett as the starter, Mayo acknowledged that the offense has not been producing at the necessary level for success. Brissett’s performance in the last game, where he failed to score in a critical situation, highlighted the team’s offensive struggles.
Maye, the rookie quarterback, has seen limited playing time this season but has shown potential during training camp. Mayo admitted that Maye outplayed Brissett in camp, but until now, he believed that the veteran gave the team the best chance to win. However, with the team’s lackluster performances, Mayo is considering all options to improve the team’s overall performance.
As the Patriots prepare for the Texans, Mayo emphasized the need for improvements across all positions on the team. Ultimately, Mayo will have the final say on who starts at quarterback in Week 6. The team’s decision will be crucial as they aim to turn their season around and get back to winning ways.
