Per Jason Ounpraseuth of NESN, reporter Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots’ website raised eyebrows when he said during the latest edition of the “Catch 22” podcast that the team’s locker room was “teetering on mutiny,” in part because first-year head coach Jerod Mayo continues to play struggling veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett over promising rookie Drake Maye. Mayo spoke with reporters on Friday and said he hadn’t “heard” Lazar’s words.
