Commentary: Patriots Coach Jerod Mayo called his team soft, and nothing will better prove him wrong than a thrashing of rival New York.

Despite two losses, the New England rookie has been a bright spot since taking over at quarterback.

Former coach Bill Belichick says, “I’m kind of hurt for those guys. Because to call them soft – they’re not soft.”

New England couldn’t stop the run and couldn’t run the ball, and suffered its sixth straight loss Sunday.

New England gave up 171 yards on the ground and allowed a punt return for a touchdown in a 32-16 loss to Jacksonville.

New England jumps out to a 10-0 lead, then allows 25 straight points to fall to 1-6.

Mayo tells fans in England, and back in the states, that New England is ‘looking forward to building the next dynasty.’

The New England running back did not practice again on Thursday as he continues to nurse a foot injury suffered in Week 5.

Maye’s ability to throw the deep ball will open up the field for his receivers and also bolster the run game.

Maye looks to build on his successful debut – where Douglas had six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown – on Sunday against the Jaguars in London.
