Patriots’ Mike Onwenu Addresses ‘Sloppy’ Offensive Line Play

The New England Patriots lost their preseason finale 20-10 to the Washington Commanders, further exposing the franchise's biggest concern heading into Week 1 of the NFL season on Sept. 8 -- the offensive line.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo admitted he is concerned with the "lack of discipline" the offensive line of Chukwuma Okorafor, Sidy Sow, Nick Leverett, Layden Robinson and Mike Onwenu showed during the loss after the referees had warned the players about illegal formations. Despite the warnings, New England was penalized four times for lining up incorrectly and 10 times total for 157 yards.
