QB competition ongoing Following Thursday's 14-13 preseason loss to the Eagles, which Brissett started, coach Jerod Mayo noted that the competition for the team's starting QB job "definitely isn't over,"... Impact Per Mayo, rookie signal caller Drake Maye -- who has been the No. 2 option throughout training camp -- "definitely took a step forward" during his four-series stint in Thursday's contest. Meanwhile, Brissett wasn't sharp in his three series versus Philadelphia, which sets the stage for both players to see action in New England's exhibition finale against the Commanders on Aug. 25. In any case, Brissett, who began camp as the team's presumed starter, hasn't yet secured his depth chart standing ahead of Week 1, which opens the possibility that Maye could make a push for the assignment if -- as Mayo previously indicated -- he "lights it up" in practice and in next week's game.
