Jacoby Brissett struggled in the New England Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, completing 18 of 34 passes for 160 yards without any touchdowns or interceptions. This performance marked his third game without a touchdown in five contests, raising questions about his effectiveness as the starting quarterback. Despite his struggles, head coach Jerod Mayo has publicly backed Brissett as the starter, citing concerns about exposing rookie quarterback Drake Maye too early due to offensive line issues.

• Brissett's performance has been lackluster with three games without a touchdown.
• Coach Mayo's support for Brissett may be more about the offensive line than his performance.
