Patriots owner Robert Kraft's son Jonathan fumes in loss to Cardinals as lipreaders catch damning statement

The New England Patriots' embarrassing 3-11 season appears to be taking its toll on ownership. Jonathan Kraft, the President of the Kraft group and son of the Patriots' billionaire owner Robert Kraft, was pictured by CBS cameras during New England's 30-17 loss in Arizona on Sunday. The 60-year-old heir and Harvard Business School alum was clearly upset about another poor performance as he gestured to his 83-year-old father.
It was then that the younger Kraft appeared to announce: 'the play calling is terrible.'. It's unclear if Jonathan was referring to the offensive or defensive play calling, but head coach Jerod Mayo responded a question on the subject nonetheless. 'I haven't seen anything like that, so I'm not sure what you're talking about,' Mayo told reporters Monday. 'What I will say is they've been fully supportive of us as a team, and look, they're huge fans of the team they own. So whatever they say, that's what they said.'.
Mayo did raise eyebrows after Sunday's loss when asked about offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt's decision to run the ball at the goal line with running backs Antonio Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson rather than athletic quarterback Drake Maye.
