Jerod Mayo said his team took Sunday's "butt-kicking" at the hands of the Dolphins personally, and dismissed a report that players were laughing in the locker room after the defeat.

The 34-15 drubbing dropped New England to 3-9 after Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 317 yards and sliced up the New England defense for four touchdowns. His longest pass of the day was a 29-yard connection with Jaylen Waddle, who led all receivers with 144 yards on eight catches.

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo indicated there could be changes on both sides of the ball following the team's 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Patriots were outmatched on offense and defense.
