The New England Patriots have been on a downward spiral since they grabbed a shocking season-opening win. Since then, the team has lost five straight games and it led them to make a quarterback change in the process.

"The common denominator has just been a lack of focus." The post Jerod Mayo issues ‘wake-up call’, plans on making changes to Patriots starting lineup appeared first on Boston.com.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo indicated there would be lineup changes for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wide receivers Tyquan Thornton and K.J. Osborn didn't take a single rep in last week's game against the Houston Texans.

The Jaguars have given up the second-most points per game going into Week 7, and the Patriots are coming off a loss in which they scored a season-high in points. They might be able to get something going offensively, especially if Drake Maye can clean up the turnovers in his second NFL start.

See who's in and who's out for the Week 7 matchup between the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots on October 20, 2024.

The Jacksonville Jaguars aren't likely to turn their season around, but that doesn't mean they'll be traders at the NFL trade deadline.
