Jerod Mayo acknowledged a mistake in his comments regarding offensive playcalling after the Patriots' loss to the Cardinals, which could have been interpreted as a critique of offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. He emphasized that all decisions fall under his responsibility and expressed a desire to improve his communication skills as a first-year head coach. Mayo's season has been marked by similar missteps, contributing to a frustrating campaign for a team struggling at 3-11, amidst expectations of growth and roster development following the departure of Bill Belichick.
