The New England Patriots caught some air in Week 8. The club was able to defeat the Jets at home, with HC Jerod Mayo sending a one-word critique to his players after this close victory.

It is known that the Patriots are going through a huge rebuild. Since Tom Brady left the team, the AFC East club has not been very competitive, and the situation got even more complicated this offseason.

At the end of the 2023 NFL season, the Patriots decided to part ways with Bill Belichick, leaving Jerod Mayo as head coach. The club has not had a great tenure under Mayo’s direction, and fans are desperate to see this experiment working as soon as possible.

I don’t think I’ve ever really questioned the resilience of this team,” Mayo said, via a transcript from the team. “I’m not going to go back to those comments. What I will say is we have a room full of guys with the mentality that you got to change the page every day. Every day is a new day.”

What’s next for the New England Patriots?

Following their victory against the Jets, the Patriots have promising prospects for another win in Week 9. They will face the Tennessee Titans, who recently suffered a significant defeat, losing 52-14 to the Detroit Lions.
