Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett? Patriots hope to pick starter by Monday night

New York Times  

— The Patriots hope to decide by Monday night who will be their starting quarterback, about 24 hours after their preseason finale in Washington, coach Jerod Mayo said. At the outset of training camp, Mayo and Patriots coaches made it clear that Jacoby Brissett was the team’s starter. After being at every practice this camp, the guess is that it’s still unlikely Maye will start even if he narrowly outplays Brissett on Sunday night. So while the Patriots are leaving the door open to Maye winning the job by, say, completing 15 of 16 passes for three touchdowns Sunday night, in all likelihood it’s Brissett’s job.
