Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 120 yards and a first-quarter touchdown, Joey Slye kicked three field goals and the New England Patriots won Jerod Mayo's debut as coach, beating the mistake-prone Cincinnati Bengals 16-10 on Sunday.
Brissett, the nine-year veteran chosen by Mayo to start over first-round draft pick Drake Maye, held onto the ball and kept the Patriots moving well enough to outlast the slow-starting Bengals.
Mayo, a 38-year-old former Patriots linebacker, was previously an assistant to six-time Super Bowl champion Bill Belichick, who agreed to step down after going 4-13 last season. His No. 1 receiver, Ja’Marr Chase, kept everyone guessing as to whether he was even going to play Sunday. He had limited participation in preseason practices as he awaits an expected deal on a contract extension. He elected to play and had six catches for 62 yards. Chase said he was sick with food poisoning in recent days but felt fine for the game.fumbled away a punt, which led to a Patriots field goal. Then the Bengals came up a yard short on a fourth-down pass and turned the ball over.
