"I don't know," Mayo said. "We talk about every single week you're competing for a job. So, we'll get together as a coaching staff and we'll see how it goes."
With a subpar offensive line and low expectations for the season overall, the plan was for the veteran Brissett to start the games, run the offense, and take the hits while rookie Drake Maye watches and learns.
Some would argue that he's missing out on valuable experience by sitting on the bench. There are others who believe that the risk of Maye getting injured or losing his confidence behind this offensive line outweigh the rewards of starting him right away.
Mayo's message after Sunday's game did not sound like the Patriots are actually 100 percent behind Brissett.
