Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt is feeling the heat after a rough showing by New England against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Beyond the lackluster performance on the gridiron at State Farm Stadium, the veteran coach’s standing within the organization seemingly took some hits both during and after Sunday’s 30-17 loss to Arizona.
During the game, CBS cameras captured Robert and Jonathan Kraft visibly frustrated with the execution of the team’s offense — with internet lip readers suggesting that the younger Kraft was not pleased with the play-calling.
To make matters worse, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo seemingly threw Van Pelt under the bus when asked postgame why the team didn’t call a QB sneak with Drake Maye on both a 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1 situation in the red zone.
