Patriots eager to display toughness in rematch with Jets

A 1-6 start has New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo questioning his team's toughness. Mayo believes there still is time to flip the script, though, and New England will have a chance to do just that when it faces the New York Jets on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. The Patriots were called out by Mayo following a 32-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London last Sunday, with their first-year coach declaring them a "soft football team across the board." More conversations went on behind closed doors between Mayo and his players, and while he wouldn't share exactly what was said, he is confident that New England will be playing inspired football against the Jets (2-5).
