Matt Patricia's role as New England Patriots' offensive play-caller after Josh McDaniels' departure was marked by significant struggles. Despite Patricia's history with the team, including three Super Bowls, under his guidance, the Patriots' offense fell from seventh to sixteenth in scoring. Mac Jones, once a Pro-Bowl rookie, regressed into an ineffective quarterback. During a media appearance, Patricia reflected on his experience, hinting that things did not improve post his tenure, indirectly criticizing the work of new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien, who stepped in for the 2023 season, signaling ongoing challenges for the team.
"That was interesting, right? That was definitely interesting. But I do think, though - I'm just going to say this. I don't think it was better the next year, right?"
"Patricia's comments were seemingly a direct shot at former Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien, who took over as the team's OC and play-caller for the 2023 season."
