New England Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett keeps starting job, coach praises toughness

Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Jacoby Brissett will remain the New England Patriots' starting quarterback, coach Jerod Mayo said Friday, less than 24 hours after rookie Drake Maye was given snaps in a loss to the New York Jets.

"Jacoby is our quarterback until I say he is not the quarterback," Mayo told reporters. "I thought last night he showed a lot of toughness, a lot of grit. On protection breakdowns, he tried to do what we asked him to do.
