Jerod Mayo understands his role as the leader of the Patriots defense, and the second-year linebacker took tonight’s loss personally. The defense, the unit he takes pride in leading, gave the Patriots no chance to win. Their coach resorted to going for it on fourth down every chance he got. “It’s tough, man,” Mayo said. “Every time you lose a game like that, you just try to shoulder it. It was a tough game for us all the way around. It’s all about execution and being on the same page. Tonight, the defense wasn’t on the same page. I take that on my shoulders, not having these guys on the same page and given up big plays against a good offense.”
