NFL fans claim they know why Jerod Mayo didn't wear 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate' pin for final Patriots game

NFL fans have claimed the writing was on the wall for Jerod Mayo and his short-lived tenure with the New England Patriots based on the head coach's act in the final game of the regular season. Mayo, who had been the handpicked successor to Bill Belichick, bowed out of New England in spectacular fashion Sunday, overseeing the Patriots to a win in what was to be his final game in the job and costing the franchise the No. 1 overall Draft pick in the process.

The head coach lasted just under 12 months in the role, being given the axe about an hour after the final whistle against the Buffalo Bills. But some fans suggested there was a sign that the 38-year-old already knew he was on his way out before the shock 23-16 victory even kicked off.

Mayo was spotted without the blue square pin he has usually donned for games throughout the season, which is a symbol of support for Patriots owner Robert Kraft's 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate' campaign. Mayo insisted there was no significance to not wearing the pin when asked about it by reporters following Sunday's game.
Former New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was spotted without the blue pin. Patriots owner, pictured wearing the pin, fired Mayo shortly after Sunday's NFL finale. 'I had a big coat on and it was kind of like the same thing last week or in Buffalo,' he said, per Mike Kadlick. '[...] I apologize for not having it visible. You can make a story about it if you want to.'.
