Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo delivered <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-jerod-mayo-unique-rhamondre-stevenson-antonio-gibson-decision">a stunning reversal involving Rhamondre Stevenson</a>.</p><p>Antonio Gibson, not Stevenson, was first set to handle starting running back duties. Mayo confirmed the decision beforehand on the radio. However, Gibson wasn’t RB1 after all. Stevenson resumed the role.</p><p>Reporters <a href="https://www.patriots.com/news/new-england-patriots-postgame-quotes-12-28-x8243" rel="noopener">fired off the question</a>: What went into the last minute change for Mayo?</p><p>“That was just a coach’s decision,” Mayo said, via patriots.com.</p><p>Mayo still received a subsequent question about the last-minute move.</p><p>“I understand your question. Look, it’s a coach’s decision. So I’ll leave it at that,” Mayo said.</p><h2><b>How did Rhamondre Stevenson fare for Patriots vs. Chargers? </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Rhamondre-Stevenson-handoff.jpg"><figcaption>David Butler II-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Stevenson is the past 1,000-yard performer on the roster. He also entered Gillette Stadium as the team’s leading rusher.</p><p>He still wasn’t lined up to start, <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1873061929339752611" rel="noopener">largely due to fumble issues</a> as noted by NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport on Saturday morning. Stevenson lost the football seven times before the Saturday contest against the Chargers. That includes coughing the ball up in the first four weeks of the season.</p><p>Stevenson managed to land inside the huddle for the Patriots’ first offensive possession. However, the Chargers bottled him to one yard on two carries.</p><p>Gibson ended the afternoon leading the way on the rushing end. He racked up 63 yards on 12 carries and averaged 5.2 yards per carry. Neither Gibson or Stevenson scored the lone touchdown for New England. DeMario Douglas crossed the end zone for N.E. — taking a 36-yard pass from Drake Maye past the goal line.</p><p>Gibson came to the Patriots after four seasons with the Washington Commanders. Like Stevenson, he’s another past 1,000-yard performer (1,037 yards in 2021). Stevenson earned his 1,000-yard campaign the following year.</p><p>But this last minute decision adds to what’s become a tumultuous first season for Mayo. The Pats dropped to 3-13 overall and are now a loss away from their first 14-loss season since 1992.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New England entered Week 17 with a 3-12 record. The disappointing campaign has first-year head coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-what-could-lead-patriots-fire-jerod-mayo">Jerod Mayo on the hot seat</a>. Hoping to snap a five-game losing streak, the embattled coach reversed a decision he had made regarding lead RB Rhamondre Stevenson.</p><p>Mayo <a href="https://x.com/MikeReiss/status/1873061194229268750" rel="noopener">originally intended</a> to start fifth-year running back Antonio Gibson in Saturday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss on X. Gibson was getting the nod due to Stevenson’s persistent fumbling problems this season.</p><p>However, when the Patriots took the field against the Chargers, it was Stevenson who <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1873070742956589319" rel="noopener">got the start</a>, per NFL insider Adam Schefter.</p><p>Stevenson has fumbled seven times in 14 games entering Week 17, losing three. It’s easily the most fumbles he’s had in a single season. The fourth-year rusher had four total fumbles in his first three years in the league before his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-disappointed-take-fumbling-issues">ball security issues in 2024</a>.</p><p>After starting the season with four fumbles over his first four games, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-gets-demotion-amid-fumble-issues">Stevenson was demoted by Mayo</a> for Week 5’s contest against the Miami Dolphins. While he did not start in that game, he did play, carrying the ball 12 times for 89 yards and a score. Most importantly, he held onto the football.</p><h2><b>Patriots’ coach Jerod Mayo gave Rhamondre Stevenson the start in Week 17</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Rhamondre-Stevenson.jpg"><figcaption>Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>He kept his turnovers in check for a while but the issues began again in Week 11. Last week in a 24-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Stevenson fumbled again, losing the ball. That seemed to be Mayo’s breaking point as the rookie coach decided Stevenson needed some time on the bench to think about things. But ultimately he changed his mind prior to kickoff in Week 17.</p><p>In the end, it didn’t really matter who started the Patriots’ game against the Chargers as LA is dominating New England. At the two minute warning in the fourth quarter, the Chargers are up 40-7. Stevenson has two carries for one yard while Gibson turned eight totes into 17 scoreless yards.</p><p>The Patriots suffered a couple of injuries in the contest. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-questionable-return-after-head-injury-chargers">Drake Maye was examined for a head injury</a> before returning to the game but Christian Gonzalez wasn’t as lucky. New England’s top cornerback was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-questionable-return-after-head-injury-chargers">ruled out with a concussion</a>.</p><p>Despite a rough first season, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-jerod-mayo-update-coaching-future">Patriots are unlikely to fire Mayo</a>. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-drake-maye-shoots-down-jerod-mayo-firing-rumors-fiery-endorsement">players still support him</a> and the Krafts appear uninterested in moving on. New England will close out a brutal 2024 campaign with a home game against the Bills. Buffalo could be competing with the Baltimore Ravens for the second seed. But all the Patriots have at stake is their position in the 2025 draft.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New England will head to England to play the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday. Starting running back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-ruled-out-week-6-injury">Rhamondre Stevenson was ruled out</a> for the Patriots’ Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. But the fourth-year pro should be back on the field in Week 7.</p><p>New England <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1847763484647227454" rel="noopener">expects</a> Stevenson to play Sunday against the Jaguars, according to Adam Schefter on X. The NFL insider notes that the Patriots opted against elevating a running back from the practice squad for the matchup, a clear indication that the team plans on having Stevenson available.</p><p>Stevenson was forced to miss Week 6 due to a foot injury he picked up in the team’s Week 5 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Antonio Gibson started in his place last Sunday but managed just 19 yards on 13 carries as the Patriots got demolished by the Texans.</p><h2><b>Rhamondre Stevenson is ready to rejoin the Patriots in London</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rhamondre-Stevenson_6ba117.jpg"><figcaption>Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>On Friday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-confident-injury-update-gtd-designation">Stevenson told reporters he felt confident</a> in his ability to suit up for New England’s Week 7 clash with the Jaguars. The RB’s update came just after head coach Jerod Mayo called Stevenson a game-time decision, noting he missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week.</p><p>In five games this season, the 26-year-old back has carried the ball 77 times for 356 yards and three touchdowns. He also has 13 receptions for 37 yards. However, he has fumbled four times, turning the ball over twice.</p><p>After losing to the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-jacoby-brissett-breaks-silence-on-being-benched-in-favor-of-drake-maye">Patriots decided to bench Jacoby Brissett</a>. Rookie quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-make-1st-nfl-start-texans">Drake Maye made his first start</a> against the Texans in Week 6. New England selected Maye with the third overall pick in the 2024 draft. He’ll take the field alongside Stevenson for the first time against the Jaguars in Week 7.</p><p>The Patriots are currently in last place in the AFC East. Both New England and Jacksonville are looking for their second win of the season Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Aside from football, Kawada is an avid combat sports and basketball bettor.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NFL</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The New England Patriots might have their starting running back return in time for a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-vs-jaguars-prediction-odds-pick-for-nfl-week-7-2024">Week 7 London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars</a>. As the team prepares to play in their first overseas game of the year, Rhamondre Stevenson gave the media reason to believe he will be back in the lineup despite Jerod Mayo’s pessimistic statement just hours before.</p><p>Stevenson spoke to the media in London on Friday, predicting that <a href="https://x.com/MikeReiss/status/1847303571274187263" rel="noopener">he will be healthy enough to play</a> on Sunday. The message came right after Mayo called him a game-time decision after the 26-year-old missed the team’s Wednesday and Thursday practice sessions.</p><p>“I’m feeling good right now,” Stevenson said, via ESPN’s Mike Reiss. “I had to take a couple days off but I’m feeling like I should be ready to play on Sunday.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-rhamondre-stevenson-ruled-out-week-6-injury">Stevenson has not played</a> since the Patriots’ Week 5 game against the Miami Dolphins. He carried the ball 12 times for 89 yards and a touchdown in that contest and avoided a fumble for the first game of the season. He sat out the following week with a foot injury.</p><p>In his Week 6 absence, veteran Antonio Gibson filled in with a spot start and was inefficient with his opportunities. Gibson recorded just 19 rushing yards on his 13 carries with a long of just seven yards against the Houston Texans. Rookie Drake Maye led the team in rushing in his first career start with 38 yards on five totes.</p><h2>Patriots travel to London to take on Jaguars in Week 7</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Rhamondre-Stevenson-2.jpg"><figcaption>Eric Canha-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>For the second straight week, the Jacksonville Jaguars will play in London as they welcome the Patriots in England. The Jaguars will be the away team by technicality but maintain the travel advantage over New England with the Patriots forced to make the trip midweek.</p><p>Whether Stevenson takes the field or not, the Patriots will likely look to attack the Jaguars through the air more than on the ground. Jacksonville’s defense has been notoriously poor against the pass and New England is coming off its best passing game of the year in Week 6 when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-drake-maye-beats-jacoby-brissett-first-start">Maye took over for the struggling Jacoby Brissett</a>.</p><p>In his first start, Maye threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns against the Texans in a 41-21 loss. He added two interceptions and a fumble but led the team to its highest-scoring performance of the young season despite falling to 1-5.</p><p>Jacksonville owns an identical 1-5 record that includes a 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.  The Jaguars’ offense continued to struggle in the defeat, particularly on the ground, as Trevor Etienne picked up an injury early in the contest and D’Ernest Johnson led the way with just 28 rushing yards.</p><p>While still in London, the Week 7 Europe game will move to the Wembley Stadium.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
