Even though they are 1-6 and looking like one of the worst teams in the NFL, Bill Belichick would not go as far as to label the New England Patriots as “soft.” The team’s former head coach said as much on Monday, after the Patriots’ 32-16 defeat at the hands of the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
Following that game, head coach Jerod Mayo called the Patriots “a soft football team across the board.” While he felt the need to clarify the statement on Monday — not the first time this has happened — the damage was already done.
