New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt was asked about coach Jerod Mayo's post-game comments after the Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Mayo clarified his comments about the offensive coordinator earlier in the week. The comments in question had to do with why the team was not using quarterback Drake Maye as a runner more in short-yardage situations.
When asked about the usage of Maye, Mayo responded, "You said it, I didn’t." Many took that as the Patriots coach throwing Van Pelt under the bus. However, Van Pelt explained why he viewed it differently.
