In Foxboro, Massachusetts, the New England Patriots are facing challenges with their offensive performance, averaging only 12.4 points and 250.8 yards per game, ranking them 31st in the NFL. Following a disappointing 15-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, Jerod Mayo, a member of the coaching staff, confirmed that the team is not considering a change in their offensive play-caller, Alex Van Pelt, despite the team's struggles. Van Pelt, who was hired after a successful stint with the Cleveland Browns, has not yet found success in his new role, which has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. Mayo indicated that while the offensive play-calling will remain unchanged for now, the quarterback position may be evaluated, hinting at the possibility of rookie Drake Maye replacing veteran Jacoby Brissett. The Patriots, currently with a 1-4 record, are under pressure to improve their performance as they look for solutions to turn their season around.
