As of the beginning of the 2024 NFL season, Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots are scheduled to play. They will travel to Cincinnati to play the Bengals in Week 1 on Sunday afternoon. The game will take place away from home.
The veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett was able to gain the right to start in that game after a fierce competition that took place during training camp and the preseason months. At the very least for the time being, he will remain the starting quarterback for the Patriots, and he will be given every opportunity to maintain that position throughout the season.
a Drake Despite the fact that Maye put up a valiant effort, New England is putting Maye’s development at a slower pace. Until further notice, they do not intend to cast him out into the wild.
That could change later this season, but for now, the starting role belongs to Brissett.
After earning the position through his dedication, Brissett spoke out about being the Patriots’ starting quarterback.
“I’ve worked hard to get here, and I’m excited for the journey we’re about to start. I definitely don’t take it for granted. It’ll probably hit me more once you leave my locker, but I’m excited. It’s been a lot of hard work, many long days and nights to reach this point. I’m grateful for this opportunity, but I’m also excited for what’s ahead.”
Brissett has shown glimpses of exceptional talent throughout his career, but he’s struggled to consistently secure a starting role. So far, he has played in 79 games, completing 61.3 percent of his passes for 10,574 yards, 51 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions. He’s also gained 915 yards and scored 15 touchdowns on the ground.
At 31, it’s clear that Brissett is not taking this chance lightly. He’s determined to prove himself and continue earning his spot throughout the 2024 season.
A new chapter of football is beginning in New England. The era of Bill Belichick is over, and now the team must discover a new path to success.
Hopefully, Brissett can step up and deliver a strong performance this season. He has worked tirelessly and maintained his determination through years of limited playing time. His moment has arrived, and he appears ready to seize it.
