In a post-game press conference following the New England Patriots’ 24-3 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football, coach Jerod Mayo addressed the status of quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Initially, Mayo seemed uncertain about Brissett’s future as the team’s starter, stating “I don’t know” when pressed on the matter.
However, after further deliberation with the coaching staff, Mayo confirmed on Friday morning that Brissett would remain the team’s starting quarterback. “Jacoby is our quarterback until I say he’s not the quarterback,” Mayo asserted. “I thought last night he showed a lot of toughness, a lot of grit. Protection breakdowns, he tried to do what we asked him to do. But I would say, just as a team, as a coaching staff, we just gotta be better.”
Despite Brissett’s struggles in the game, which saw him throw for only 98 yards and get sacked five times, Mayo expressed confidence in his abilities moving forward. The decision to stick with Brissett comes after careful consideration of all factors involved in the team’s performance.
The Patriots will look to bounce back from their disappointing loss as they continue their season, with Brissett leading the way as the team’s starting quarterback. The coaching staff remains committed to supporting Brissett and helping him improve as they strive for success in the remainder of the season.
