The New England Patriots had a challenging start to their season. After a win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Jerod Mayo’s team suffered losses to the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets.
Many fans believe the situation would be improved with Bill Belichick at the helm, but the new era with Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye is showing promise. Robert Kraft feels confident he brought in the right people for this scenario nearly five years ago.
However, Kraft might be disappointed as the team has fallen from the heights established during Belichick’s tenure. Meanwhile, Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers’ availability for the second half of Thursday’s game against the Jets is uncertain due to an ankle injury.
Peppers sustained the injury on the first play of the second quarter during a 27-yard pass to Allen Lazard. He was initially listed as questionable but did return to the game before heading back to the locker room just before halftime, with the Jets leading 14-3.
Prior to his early exit, Peppers recorded four tackles. At 28, he came into the game with 12 tackles over two starts this season.
