The New England Patriots' offensive line struggles have reached a critical point, with a disheartening performance against the New York Jets resulting in seven sacks and 15 quarterback hits.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett faced five sacks before being replaced by rookie Drake Maye, who was also sacked twice. The team's protection issues have stifled their passing game significantly, leading to discussions on blame amid frustrated fans.

As they sit at 1-2, challenges loom ahead with a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4.
