Patriots Fire Jerod Mayo

The Patriots fired HC Jerod Mayo, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's one-and-done for Mayo, who was hand-picked by Bill Belichick to be his successor. New England went 4-13 in Mayo's lone season, finishing in the bottom 10 in both points scored and points allowed. The latter might have been Mayo's undoing considering his defensive background. We'll see who the Patriots tab as their next HC. It's an especially important hire for QB Drake Maye's fantasy value.
