Pats third-string QB Jacoby Brissett shows off his wheels on 27-yard TD
The New England Patriots just plug in new QBs and find ways to score.
On Thursday night the Pats' new starter was third-stringer Jacoby Brissett, who relieved Jimmy Garoppolo after he was injured in Week 2.
The rookie hasn't shown he has Garoppolo's arm or passing skills, but he showed off his wheels in scoring the Pats' only touchdown of the first half.
