Curse Rappaport for making me read the Herald...

I'm guilty too. My bad.

But my favorite part of the interview came when Mayo called me out. Pretty blatantly, too. He was talking about the fourth quarter and overtime against the Ravens and how plenty of people probably thought his defense was cooked when the Patriots offense couldn’t stay on the field. And I cracked a smile.
“I’m sure you were one of those guys,” Mayo said to me. Guilty. But hey, they proved me wrong, which Mayo seemed to get a kick out of. His entire quote was interesting.
“Going into the fourth quarter of the game, you could see the defense growing up,” Mayo said. “We’re getting better with some big stops in overtime. I know everybody who was watching as a spectator was like, ‘The Ravens are getting the ball back, probably won’t stop them, the game’ll probably be over.’ I’m sure you were one of those guys. But guys went out there and did an excellent job, making the stops when we need to.”
I'm guilty too. My bad.
“This is a no-name defense,” Mayo told me. “That’s how we like it. Let me say this, it’s getting better. It’s not where we want it to be, but it’s getting better.”
