New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett commented on his feelings on being benched, as rookie Drake Maye will start on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Brissett has been the Patriots' starting quarterback through the first four games of the season.

"It's tough," Brissett said. The post Jacoby Brissett on losing starting job to Drake Maye: ‘I don’t think words can describe how tough it is’ appeared first on Boston.com.

Brissett won the starting quarterback job out of training camp, but the offense never gained traction. The 1-4 Patriots head into this weekend ranked 31st in scoring. On Wednesday, Maye praised Brissett calling him the “ideal teammate” and when it came to the change at quarterback, the rookie said, “The biggest thing is you hate it for him.”
