Tyquan Thornton was an obvious candidate, but Bourne also ended up on the outside looking in with zero total snaps played.<\/p>\n<p>K.J. Osborn surprisingly did get some run, playing a reduced role behind the likes of Ja\u2019Lynn Polk, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas.<\/p>\n<p>Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo explained the whole situation postgame, which reportedly was the plan coming into the game, while also commending one of his biggest leaders for the response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll say this: even though Bourne didn\u2019t play today, he was the first one smiling when I came into the locker room,\u201d Mayo said, per team-provided video. \u201cI\u2019ve always appreciated that \u2014 just his energy and his excitement.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the same thing with K.J. and the rest of those guys; when they\u2019re inactive, it\u2019s the excitement for their teammates. We talk about \u2018abundance versus scarcity\u2019 and having the mindset of abundance where we can all eat. If you have that scarcity mindset, you don\u2019t want your teammate to do well because there\u2019s only a certain amount of the pie. I\u2019ll say the mindset of this team is that if we go out there, there are enough plays for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Osborn similarly was told he\u2019d be benched before the Week 7 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars and made some headlines for his response to the entire ordeal after he ended up playing due to other issues in the receiver room.<\/p>\n<p>Bourne was his typical happy-go-lucky self before, during and after what ended up being a dominant win at Soldier Field, however, which you could see from everything the club posted on social media.<\/p>\n<p>It was a nice change of pace for New England.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was benched on Sunday, and his response was notable to head coach Jerod Mayo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING NEWS : Patriots&#039;
