New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Jacob Brissett will remain the team’s starting quarterback. Mayo said he is not considering a change to Drake Maye, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, after the Patriots’ third straight loss. “Jacoby is 100 percent our starter,” Mayo said in his video conference with reporters. “He’s done a good job doing what we’ve asked. Are there a lot of plays he could do a better job? Absolutely. But I would never question his toughness, dependability and leadership style for this team. That’s what we need right now.” The Patriots (1-3) host the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. Brissett was 19-for-32 passing with 168 yards with a touchdown and a pick-six in the Patriots’ 30-13 loss at San Francisco on Sunday. For the season, Brissett is completing 60.4 percent of his passes for 536 yards, two TDs and the one interception. Brissett has been sacked 15 times in four games. “I think the hard part about it, all the fans, you in the media, they want to see the third-overall pick play. I understand the frustration from fans and [media]. What we’re doing is what we think is best. What I’m doing is what I think is best for the Patriots today and also in the future,” Mayo said on his WEEI sports radio show Monday. –Field Level Media
