On Sunday afternoon, the New England Patriots overcame an injury to quarterback Drake Maye and cooled off Jerod Mayo's potential hot seat by defeating the New York Jets at home to push their record to 2-6. The win snapped a streak of six straight losses for the Patriots after their opening week win against the Cincinnati Bengals and also tied them with the 2-6 Jets in the AFC East standings in the process.
After the game, Mayo spoke on the adversity that the team has had to fight through in reaching this point and how proud he was of the squad for overcoming the obstacles and the odds on Sunday vs the Jets.
