Brissett was the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots to start the 2024 season, but was replaced by No. 3 overall draft pick Drake Maye in Week 6.
When Maye had to be checked for a concussion in Week 8, Brissett took back over for him, playing three quarters in the Pats' 25-22 win over the New York Jets. It was Brissett who led the game-winning drive in the final minutes.
