In a recent episode of Julian Edelman's podcast, he discussed with former Patriots coach Matt Patricia about the pressures of being a top team, comparing their legacy to that of the Kansas City Chiefs. Both Patricia and Edelman emphasized that teams put forth their best effort against the Patriots and Chiefs, as victories against these teams can lead to career advancements and financial gains for players and coaches alike. Patricia further noted that the Patriots' ability to maintain a level of secrecy about their operations added to their competitive edge.
The former Patriots coach spent 15 non-consecutive years with New England. During his run from 2012 to 2016 as defensive coordinator, Patricia collected two Super Bowl rings.
Edelman theorized that beating a team like the Patriots drives financial and career opportunities for coaches and players.
