Ezekiel Elliott strayed from the tight-lipped norm after the New England Patriots were handed a 27-17 defeat against the Kansas City Chiefs at Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
But at least one of his coaches didn’t take issue with his opinion.
“I think we could have went a little faster, just definitely being down three scores in that last quarter,” Elliott told reporters in reference to New England’s offense, per NESN.com’s Zack Cox. “But I don’t know. It’s not up to me.”
Many took that to be a critique of Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.
