Roughly 12 hours after calling his New England Patriots “a soft football team across the board,” head coach Jerod Mayo clarified his comments Monday morning.
“I felt like we just went out there and played soft,” Mayo explained. “We’re playing soft at the moment, and when I say playing soft, that means stopping the run, being able to run the ball, and being able to cover kicks, which we weren’t able to do.”
Mayo later added on WEEI: “To correct what I said, it’s not that we have a softball football team. We are just playing soft over the past few weeks.
