Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Friday that quarterback Jacoby Brissett "showed a lot of toughness, a lot of grit" in Thursday night's loss to the Jets and will remain New England's starter moving forward.

The New England Patriots are maintaining the “status quo” at the quarterback position, Jerod Mayo says. The morning after his team pulled Jacoby Brissett for rookie Drake Maye in garbage time, Mayo said that nothing has changed in regards to Brissett’s status as the starter.

Amid a blowout loss to the New York Jets on Thursday night, the New England Patriots got a brief glimpse of the future when Jerod Mayo pulled veteran starter Jacoby Brissett out of the game and thrust first-round rookie Drake Maye under center.
