Jerod Mayo’s first season as head coach of the New England Patriots has not gone according to plan.
Even if expectations weren’t all that high for a rebuilding Patriots roster, New England has seemingly regressed as the 2024 season has gone on. Following a disappointing 32-16 loss to the Jaguars in London on Sunday, the Patriots are 1-6 on the year and have dropped six straight games.
Even with the absence of established talent across New England’s depth chart, the steep decline in the Patriots’ defensive fortitude, the team’s struggles with discipline, and Mayo’s own postgame comments have drawn plenty of flak.
