Jerod Mayo has a stronger stomach than most Patriots fans. And Tom Brady.
The Patriots' defensive captain said Tuesday that he has watched the film of Super Bowl XLVI a few times. He broke it down like any other game to see where the Patriots "went wrong."
During the buildup to Super Bowl XLVI, Tom Brady admitted that he never watched a replay of New England's previous Super Bowl loss to the Giants. Not once in five years.
Mayo took the opposite approach. He can take some positives from a game where the Patriots defense mostly played well, like it did for much of the postseason. Mayo and his defensive mates just need to learn how to close out a game.
