After the New England Patriots' 30-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at State Farm Stadium, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo gave a confusing answer regarding the team's decision to have rookie quarterback Drake Maye run the ball.
"You said it. I didn't," Mayo said. Most people took that as questioning offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, who Mayo has described as the head coach of the offense.
While the head coach attempted to walk back the comment on Sunday and Monday, the story has continued to live on, and on Thursday, Van Pelt spoke to the media for the first time since and addressed the situation.
