New England starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been sacked four times through the first two weeks of the season, per ESPN.
Heading into Week 3, Pro Football Focus ranked the Patriots O-Line as the worst in the NFL. That was before considering any of the players who were ruled out due to injury.
“The Patriots’ offensive line accounted for 13 pressures — including two sacks — on 32 pass plays in Week 2. The unit recorded a 76.6 PFF pass-blocking efficiency score, which ranked second to last in the NFL in Week 2,” PFF analyst Zoltán Buday wrote. “Left tackle Vederian Lowe let up five pressures on his way to a 15.6% pressure rate, which was the second-worst clip among all NFL offensive linemen in Week 2.”
With Lowe already being ruled out, the Patriots will turn to rookie offensive tackle Caedan Wallace to make his first NFL start.
