The calendar hit December, Christmas trees are popping up across New England, and the Patriots are still repeating the same mistakes as they lose football games.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo did some reflecting following the team’s 25-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The coach pointed to areas in particular that bogged down the team throughout the afternoon.

Mayo elected not to burn his timeouts on Indianapolis' final drive, but got the ball back with only 12 seconds left as a result. The post Patriots coach Jerod Mayo explains his late-game decisions in loss to Colts appeared first on Boston.

Joey Slye's 68-yard field goal attempt to try and win the Patriots Sunday's game against the Colts fell just short.

The Patriots had very little trouble moving the ball against the Colts defense all game. They made six trips into the red zone, but they only scored two touchdowns on those drives.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo always knew it would take more than the 2024 season to establish a winning culture.

Through 13 games as a head coach, Mayo’s decision-making for the Patriots has repeatedly come under fire. Sunday's loss to the Colts provided more fodder.

Jerod Mayo's first calendar year as New England Patriots head coach has been rocky, to say the least. Since replacing the legendary Bill Belichick in January, Mayo has endured turbulence both on and off the field.
