Jerod Mayo, Drake Maye, and the rest of the Patriots weren’t focused on finding silver linings after a 20-point loss to the Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday.
But Mayo changed his tune on Monday, focusing in particular on New England’s gains on offense.
Of course, the strides the Patriots made with Drake Maye under center were evident on Sunday. But the next day, Mayo wanted to highlight a key cog in the middle of New England’s offensive line.
The Patriots’ O-line hasn’t necessarily been lauded by Mayo and the rest of the Patriots this season, especially after coughing up 23 sacks through the first six games of the 2024 season.
