The 2023 New England Patriots have spiraled out of control in a way that’s never been seen in the Bill Belichick era.
Regardless of what happens on Sunday against the New York Jets, the 4–12 Patriots will finish with the worst record since Belichick became the team’s head coach in 2000.
After the team put together a lifeless offense in 2022, with former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia assuming play-calling duties, a new report from the Boston Herald indicates that Belichick was willing to run it back in ’23 with Patricia continuing to call the offense.
