Patriots Shouldn’t Think Twice About Benching Offensive Playmaker

In the days of Bill Belichick at the helm of the New England Patriots, Rhamondre Stevenson would have been real familiar with the bench. He might have needed a pillow and blanket for his extended stay there, too.

Jerod Mayo didn't go that route when it came to Stevenson's costly fumbling issues, but he should take a page out of Belichick's book.

Mayo appears to be trending in that direction after the first-year head coach said Wednesday sitting Stevenson and giving more reps to Antonio Gibson in Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins is an option on the table.
