After another loss in Week 5, the New England Patriots are considering a change at the quarterback position. Head coach Jerod Mayo may be leaning toward starting rookie quarterback Drake Maye over veteran Jacoby Brissett this coming weekend against the Houston Texans. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported the news on social media.

Jerod Mayo did not commit to Jacoby Brissett as the Patriots’ starting quarterback Monday morning. That’s a change from past weeks. Could it be Drake Maye time?

Could a change at quarterback be coming to New England? Jerod Mayo wouldn't say on Monday, but he didn't completely back Jacoby Brissett.

The Patriots coach has stood by the veteran this season, but he said the quarterback play against Miami "wasn't good enough."

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo hinted at debuting rookie Drake Maye as his starting quarterback against the Houston Texans in Week 6 during his Monday morning interview with WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show.

The Patriots will host the Houston Texans next week, and it would be a tough ask for Maye to start against one of the best teams in the AFC, but it will be interesting to see if Mayo makes a move to his rookie quarterback at some point in the upcoming games.

The clock is ticking for Drake Maye. After another lackluster performance by Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots’ offense — this one a 15-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins — coach Jerod Mayo took nothing off the table when looking for answers.
