A half-full Gillette Stadium grew restless on Saturday afternoon as the Patriots fell in embarrassing fashion to the Los Angeles Chargers, 40-7.
Chants of “Fire Mayo!” rang out in the fourth quarter as New England’s deficit increased and the Patriots fell to 3-13 on the season.
Quarterback Drake Maye, perhaps the team’s lone positive in their latest contest, reiterated his support of head coach Jerod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt after the loss.
“They’re still bringing it every week. I think that’s the biggest thing,” Maye told reporters from the podium.
