Jerod Mayo’s blunt response to Patriots identity question

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo didn’t sugarcoat his answer when asked if the team has established an identity with only three games left in the season.

“We are what our record says we are at this point in time,” said Mayo, via CLNS’ Mike Kadlick.

The organization has lost four games in a row with the most recent defeat being a 30-17 loss at the hands of the Arizona Cardinals. Mayo has come under fire multiple times this season, ranging from in-game decisions to major gaffes during post-game interviews.

It has not been an easy stretch for the first-year head coach with the team currently sitting at 3-11 on the season.

Things look bleak for the Patriots with their last three games coming against the Buffalo Bills (twice) and Los Angeles Chargers.

There is hope for the future with quarterback Drake Maye being a major piece the team can build around, as well as ample salary cap space for the 2025 free agency period.
