Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett has won the starting quarterback job for the New England Patriots, according to multiple reports. He will be under center when New England takes on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1 on Sept. 8.
Brissett signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in the offseason that reunited him with the organization that drafted him as a backup to Tom Brady in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft. The 31-year-old started two games with the Patriots in 2016 when Tom Brady was serving a suspension for his role in the Deflategate saga.
