Well, there&#8217;s a variety of things &#8212; but reason No. 1 is the offensive line&#8217;s lack of consistent protection for their quarterback. Let&#8217;s have a look:<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>While the pressure came from pretty much everywhere on Sunday afternoon, a gaff or two here or there is to be expected from guys like Vederian Lowe, a replacement-level tackle, and Layden Robinson, a rookie in his second career start.<\/p>\n<p>Who it shouldn&#8217;t be expected from is Mike Onwenu, whom you paid a hefty three-year, $57 million extension to this offseason to be your right tackle. But that&#8217;s exactly what we saw against the Seahawks. The 26-year-old tallied a 9.4% pressure rate with three pressures and a QB hit. Here&#8217;s a look at some of his struggles from Sunday:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not a great showing from Big Mike during the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Patriots?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Patriots<\/a> final drive of regulation<\/p>\n<p>Contributed to a breakdown where Brissett had multiple downfield options, then lost immediately on 3rd &amp; 3<\/p>\n<p>This is the fear with Onwenu, a great RG, playing RT.

Said pressure led to three sacks of quarterback Jacoby Brissett.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Brissett, let&#8217;s take a look at some of his ups and downs from Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll start with the good. Brissett&#8217;s leadership, ability to protect the football, and knowledge of the offense are what have allowed New England to commit zero turnovers through two games. He also continues to have success in the intermediate part of opponents&#8217; defense &#8212; most notably seen on the Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk touchdown pass, and the fact that he connected with tight end Hunter Henry on eight completions for 109 yards.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As expected, Jacoby Brissett was at his best attacking the short-intermediate middle of the Seahawks&#39; defense, typically targeting his tight ends<\/p>\n<p>Also looked good on ISO matchups to his backs and quick-hitters outside <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Hhe31hoPTd\">https:\/\/t.co\/Hhe31hoPTd<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MjbP8k23Au\">pic.twitter.com\/MjbP8k23Au<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1835702545412448490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>But Brissett made his fair share of mistakes as well. There were multiple instances on Sunday where the 31-year-old had players open downfield and wasn&#8217;t able to find them. Here are two examples on two critical third downs:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Feels like Brissett has at least two options to convert on this 3rd &amp; 2 with Henry and Polk breaking to space<\/p>\n<p>Also might&#39;ve been able to hit a lane up the middle, but probably easier said than done once Jordan chips Mafe around the edge <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZPy9zgRNi0\">pic.twitter.com\/ZPy9zgRNi0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1835672609201016966?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jacoby usually does a good job playing the numbers in the RZ, but on this critical 3rd &amp; 8, his progression starts towards a side where he&#39;s outnumbered at least 3-2<\/p>\n<p>Think a plan of quickly looking right before hitting Hooper down the middle is a reasonable plan vs this look <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZaV24FLtEu\">pic.twitter.com\/ZaV24FLtEu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tkyles39\/status\/1835675562020307048?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Arguably the worst mistake of them all was the sack he took with 4:44 left in regulation.
