The New England Patriots are running out of legitimate paths to the playoffs after a 24-3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14 on Thursday night.
But coach Bill Belichick, running backs coach Ivan Fears and Lawrence Guy each shared similar responses to questions about the team’s outlook for the rest of the season, with just a 6% chance of making the playoffs.
“We aren’t done yet,” Fears told reporters on Friday.
Bill Belichick, meanwhile, is managing scrutiny about his quarterback situation and said that the Patriots are “trying to win games” as he elects to keep quarterback Cam Newton at the helm. And then there’s Guy, who shared an impassioned quote.
“We ain’t a bunch of quitters,” Guy told reporters after the game Thursday night. “It doesn’t matter what the record is. It doesn’t matter what the outcome is. We ain’t a bunch of quitters. We’re going to go out there and play some football. We are who we are. We’re NEP, and that’s what we’re going to do — continue to fight regardless of what happens at the end of the season.”
Guy had four tackles against the Rams in a brutal defensive performance, with L.A. running back Cam Akers putting up 171 yards on 29 carries. On the season, Guy has 44 tackles and two sacks.
The Patriots are 6-7, and they have three games remaining in the season, with game against the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets.
