Patriots Name Jacoby Brissett Starting QB Over Rookie Drake Maye

Despite outplaying Brissett in preseason, Maye will start the season on the bench as the Patriots prioritize experience.

Head coach Jerod Mayo emphasized Brissett's experience and familiarity with the offense.
Brissett struggled in preseason, completing only 5 of 14 passes with one interception.
Maye showed promise, completing 21 of 34 passes for 192 yards and two touchdowns.
Concerns about the offensive line's performance influenced the decision to start Brissett.
Maye is expected to get playing time later in the season if Brissett falters.
