New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye admitted the team is tired of losing when speaking with media members after a training camp practice. There's hope for a culture shift for a Patriots team that finished with a 4-13 record in consecutive seasons. They haven't had a winning record since Mac Jones' rookie year back in 2021.

And listening to the crowd Wednesday, it’s not hard to glean where they think the team’s bread is buttered.
