New England Patriots special teams coordinator Jeremy Springer addressed the recent fan backlash following the team's disappointing 40-7 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Many players, including Davon Godchaux and Jahlani Tavai, expressed their discontent with the booing and chants directed at head coach Jerod Mayo. In contrast, Springer acknowledged the fans' frustrations, emphasizing their right to voice their displeasure given the high costs of attending games.

Springer, reflecting on his experiences as a fan, stated that the team's storied history comes with expectations. He stressed the need for improvement on the field to prevent such reactions in the future. The Patriots, with a dismal 3-13 record, have struggled under Mayo's leadership, failing to meet the expectations set for the season, especially with rookie quarterback Drake Maye showing potential.
