(AP) — Drake Maye received a nice ovation from the Gillette Stadium crowd when he returned to Saturday’s game after it appeared the New England Patriots had lost their rookie quarterback to another head injury. By the fourth quarter, those fans who chose to stick around until the end of a 40-7 lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Chargers chose to voice their displeasure in a season in which very little has gone right for the former NFL powerhouse. Chants of “Fire Mayo!” reverberated throughout the stadium, which was a quarter full by game’s end. “You hear those things. At the same time, they paid to sit in the seats, and we’ve got to play better. If we play better, we don’t have to hear that stuff,” head coach Jerod Mayo said after the Patriots dropped their sixth straight game. Instead of building off last week’s strong effort at Buffalo, New England took another series of steps backward in the season’s penultimate game. With another game against the Bills on tap next weekend, questions concerning the future of Mayo and several assistant coaches – mostly notably offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington – figure to intensify. “I’m always under pressure and it’s been that way for a very long time, not just when I became the head coach of the Patriots. I’m okay. Look, I always do what’s best for the team,” Mayo said. “I have full confidence in the staff. I have full confidence in the players in (the locker room). I think again, it just comes down to being consistent across the board.” Remember, the Patriots parted ways with six-time Super Bowl winner Bill Belichick following last year’s dismal 4-13 record. The coaching change didn’t produce the desired upward swing, with New England staring at the possibility of producing fewer wins in Mayo’s first season. “I’m just tired of losing. I’m trying to be in the playoffs and have a winning season,” said second-year receiver DeMario Douglas, who connected with Maye for New England’s lone touchdown. The most important asset in the Patriots’ rebuilding efforts, Maye was questionable to return with a head injury after taking a blow to the helmet in the first quarter. The No. 3 overall pick from this spring’s NFL draft scrambled near the sideline on third down of the Patriots’ first possession when he was hit by Chargers cornerback Cam Hart. Maye stayed down on the turf for several seconds before eventually getting up and jogging off the field. He briefly sat on the bench before going to the medical tent for evaluation. He was replaced by backup Jacoby Brissett, but for only one series that ended with a three-and-out. After further evaluation in the locker room, Maye returned to the game for the Patriots’ third series at the 10:15 mark of the second quarter. The 22-year-old was knocked out of the Patriots’ Week 8 win over the New York Jets after he suffered a blow to the back of his head. “Just kind of got my bell rung on the first drive. I feel good, I still feel good, and then I was good to go,” Maye said afterward. To his teammates, it wasn't a shock to see Maye re-enter the game after taking a blow to the head. On his first play back under center, Maye took off for a 9-yard run and drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. “He didn’t have to come back, but he did. That gave everyone a lot of confidence,” Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte said. Maye set a Patriots rookie franchise record for touchdown passes in consecutive games (eight) when he connected with Douglas on a play on which the Chargers called for defensive offsides. He also turned the ball over for the eighth straight game – a fumble on a pitch attempt to Douglas that Los Angeles turned into points to make it 17-0 in the second quarter. “I’ve got to give him a better ball to catch. That falls back on me,” Maye said. It appears the Patriots dodged a bullet with respect to Maye and his health. Now, the focus shifts back to Mayo and what his 2025 status. “I think the biggest thing was you don’t see those guys quitting. I think the score may not tell that today, but I feel like the guys are still wanting to win. We’re still leaving it out there every week, and I think that was kind of my message to the team,” Maye said. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

A video has captured the terrifying moment passers-by confront a man wielding two "zombie knives" outside a Nottingham school. Footage posted to social media shows a masked thug dressed in a black puffer coat and balaclava walking down snow-covered a residential street in the city alongside a row of parked cars while handling the two pointed blades. The clip, posted on Facebook and X, formerly Twitter , also shows the moment he points them towards two bystanders while walking outside what one user said was their grandchild's school. But the undeterred members of the public can be heard condemning the man's brazen act, telling him to put the weapons away as they confront him. One brave person demands he "put it away", adding: "Look at you." Another can be heard saying: "Think you're a f****** hard man with a knife? Get gone." Were you there or do you know anyone involved in the incident? Email webnews@mirror.co.uk He then appears to limply lunge in their direction before muttering an intelligible reply muffled by his balaclava. Appearing defeated, the man walks away with his tail between his legs, holding both knives in one hand and flipping his middle finger up at the bystanders. The person recording the video can be shouting: "I'd f*** off and all." Social media users have reacted in a similar fashion to the bystanders, with dozens of people condemning the man for his attempted intimidation. One commenter said: "He intimidated nobody. Nottingham folk don’t fear b*****ds." Another added: "Where are they getting all these machetes from?" One user said the exchange was "sad" and emblematic of a nationwide issue that has created a "new culture". They wrote: "It's sad. He doesn't want to use or carry these blades, but he feels he must, to protect his life, because that is the new culture now. And that is the real problem that successive governments have failed to tackle." Sir Keir Starmer's government has promised to clamp down on knife crime and "zombie knives" since the new Prime Minister took office earlier this year. Following a Number 10 summit in September alongside actor and knife crime campaigner Idris Elba, Mr Starmer announced that he would "double down" his efforts, with Mr Elba saying the meeting was "a step in the right direction".
