After Bill Belichick led the New England Patriots for 24 straight seasons through the conclusion of last year's campaign, the franchise will be moving onto their third head coach in as many seasons. Belichick's successor, Jerod Mayo, was fired by the Patriots on Sunday following a lone 4-13 season at the helm. News regarding Mayo's firing broke soon after the team's regular season finale at Gillette Stadium and was confirmed shortly after in a statement from Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Dec 8, 2024 | chowderandchampions.com | Ryan Bunton

As the New England Patriots regroup on their bye week, Patriots fans might take solace in the fact that no Week 14 game means no Week 14 loss for New England. As the dynasty has collapsed, the Patriots have lost 23 of their last 30 games over the past two seasons and have struggled to a 3-10 record in 2024. The Patriots hold the fourth-worst winning percentage in the NFL and hold the unfortunate distinction as one of only four teams that have already been eliminated from playoff contention.

Nov 24, 2024 | chowderandchampions.com | Ryan Bunton

Very few jobs are guaranteed on 3-9 NFL teams – and the New England Patriots might be adding one more player to a lengthy chopping block. In New England's 34-15 loss to their AFC East rival Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Patriots kicker Joey Slye missed his fourth field goal of the season in the first quarter – failing to capitalize on an opportunity to get New England on the board first.

After missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season and fifth time in six seasons, the Boston Red Sox once again enter a pivotal offseason. With Red Sox fans still feeling the scars of last offseason's unfulfilled "full throttle" promise, rumors of an aggressive offseason from Craig Breslow and the front office have Sox fans cautiously optimistic.
Jerod Mayo Puts Blame on Patriots' Kicker for Controversial Week 11 Decision

Nov 18, 2024 | chowderandchampions.com | Ryan Bunton

Jerod Mayo's game management skills were once again under fire following Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. One particular criticism of Mayo's game management in Week 11 was the rookie head coach's decision to pass up on a long field goal attempt early in the second quarter. With the Patriots facing a fourth-and-13 from the Los Angeles 37-yard line, Mayo conservatively opted to trot out the punt team instead of sending Joey Slye out to attempt a 54-yard field goal.
