New England Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley stood up for Jerod Mayo, following the Patriots head coach’s controversial post-game comments after the Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. After taking blame for the loss, Mayo was asked at what point should some of the blame go on the players.

The Patriots’ locker room was a depressing place to be when the team was only used to losing a handful of games each year. The Patriots clinched their third straight season with a losing record Sunday. Mayo anticipated a “hard” team meeting following the loss to the Dolphins.

The Patriots gave up 317 yards through the air as Tua Tagovailoa sliced up the New England defense for four touchdowns.

Jerod Mayo said his team took Sunday's "butt-kicking" at the hands of the Dolphins personally, and dismissed a report that players were laughing in the locker room after the defeat.

After reports surfaced Sunday of an "unbothered" Patriots locker room after a bad loss to Miami, Jerod Mayo disputed those reports.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo refused to comment on a report that several players on offense were "smiling and laughing" in the locker room after their 34-15 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins.

When news broke that Jabrill Peppers was officially removed from the Commissioners Exempt List six weeks after he was charged with domestic violence and possession back in October, it placed the New England Patriots in a gray area.

Jerod Mayo pointed to himself for the Patriots' ugly execution and penalty issues during Sunday's loss against the Dolphins.

After a tough Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo has called out who he believes is primarily responsible for the defeat. The New England Patriots are undergoing a huge rebuild under Jerod Mayo.
