On Julian Edelman’s podcast, “Games with Names,” he and former Patriots coach Matt Patricia talked about becoming the most hated team in the NFL. It’s a similarity their Patriots teams shared with the current Kansas City Chiefs.
“You think about the incredible run that we had, like every year,” said Patricia. “Whatever team we played, we were getting their best because that was the benchmark.”
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. In the latter year, his defense allowed the fewest points in the NFL.
