As Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo has often said of late, “winning cures all.”
Thanks to his squad’s 25-22 victory over the rival Jets on Sunday, the conversation around the Patriots has now shifted from whether or not Mayo would lose the locker room after calling his team’s performance against Jacksonville two weeks ago “soft” to how Pats players responded to their coach’s challenge with a gritty win.
For Brian Hoyer and David Andrews, who defended Mayo on last week’s episode of “The Quick Snap” podcast, New England’s improvement in Week 8 was proof that the team is still buying what their rookie head coach is selling.
