Another poor passing day for the Patriots leads to more questions about when Drake Maye will start
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — The passing game for the New England Patriots has yet to get off the ground this season behind veteran Jacoby Brissett. Brissett failed to reach 200 yards passing for a fourth straight game, threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, lost a fumble and took six sacks in a 30-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday that was just the latest rough outing for New England’s offense. New England ranks last in the NFL in total offense, passing offense and second-to-last in points per game with Brissett starting all four weeks. But in the end, we just can’t do that early in the game.” Maye made his debut last week in mop-up duty in Week 3 against the New York Jets and first-year coach Jerod Mayo said he didn’t consider making a switch again this week with the Patriots once again facing a big deficit.
