A New England Patriots podcast host is backtracking after landing in hot water following comments that suggested there was dissension within the team's locker room.

Evan Lazar, who co-hosts the Catch 22 podcast produced by the Patriots, said this week that the team is "teetering on a mutiny" because of veteran backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett continuing to start over rookie Drake Maye. However, the replay of the podcast was deleted from YouTube and social media, and the audio of the podcast was edited to remove the "mutiny" comment, as noted by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
