As the Bears debacle smoldered on his television Thursday, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo picked up the phone and called Evan Rothstein, the team’s director of game management, to talk strategy.
“Often times it’s easy to second guess and look back on those decisions that are made and say, ‘Well, that’s crazy,’” Mayo told Patriots reporters Friday. “For me it was another … opportunity to be a better football coach.”
And what would he have done?
“I probably would have handled it a little bit differently,” he said.
