The New England Patriots offense was an unmitigated disaster in Thursday night’s loss to the New York Jets.
Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 12 of his 18 passes for only 98 yards in the 24-3 defeat. He was sacked five times before being replaced by rookie Drake Maye with just under five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
It was an unremarkable NFL debut for Maye. The third overall draft pick was 4-for-8 with 22 yards and was sacked twice, marking seven total sacks and 15 QB hits for the Jets defense. As a unit, the Patriots offense amassed just 139 yards with an average of 2.9 yards per play.
