After a frustrating 23-20 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Patriots wide receiver Pop Douglas expressed his frustration at not getting any targets during the game. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett understands his teammate’s frustration, acknowledging that the offense as a whole struggled, with just three catches for 19 yards by all receivers. Brissett reassured Douglas that there are still 15 games left in the season and that they are still figuring out their offensive identity.
Both Brissett and Patriots coach Jerod Mayo emphasized that player frustration is a natural part of the game, indicating a desire to improve and contribute to the team’s success. Brissett admitted the offense needs to do a better job of getting their playmakers more involved in games, including finding ways to get Douglas the ball more frequently.
One of the challenges Brissett has faced is a lack of time due to the offensive line struggling to protect him, resulting in three sacks and multiple hits during the game. Despite this, Brissett reassured reporters that he was feeling fine after the game and attributed any soreness to typical post-game wear and tear.
The team is working internally to address the issues that led to their loss and are focused on improving their offensive performance moving forward. Brissett remains confident in his team’s ability to make adjustments and get back on track as the season progresses.
