Following an uncompetitive loss where the New England Patriots were flagged 13 total times, head coach Jerod Mayo took accountability for his team’s performance in his post game press conference.
The last question directed to the coach, however, asked at what point do the players themselves need to take accountability:
“I know it starts with you, but when do you players have to start looking at themselves? You can only do so much. When is on the players?”
Mayo’s answer drew plenty of criticism.
“Look, once those guys cross the white lines, there’s nothing I can do for them,” he responded.
