Bill Simmons rips Jerod Mayo for coaching 'scared football' with Patriots
Briefly

"This spring, Jerod Mayo needs to find an author to help him write a book called Scared Football. Just throw all his scared concepts and strategies in there - passing up 4th and 1s, handing off on 3rd and 16 to set up 45 yard FGs, just rattle all of them off. SCARED FOOTBALL." - Bill Simmons.
"New England passed up an opportunity to go for it on 4th-and-1 from its own 39-yard line on its opening drive - opting for the safe call over turning to Rhamondre Stevenson or Antonio Gibson on the ground." - Analysis on Patriots' strategy.
"A parade of penalties (nine total, seven accepted by Miami) and porous defensive play by New England put them behind the eight-ball in the first half - with the Dolphins entering halftime with a 24-0 lead." - Game summary.
"New England also struggled to generate any sort of momentum on offense in the early going." - Insight into the Patriots' performance.
