Matt Patricia savors likely final home game as Patriots DC

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia seemed to be savoring what is likely his final game at Gillette Stadium, a thrilling 24-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to clinch a trip to Super Bowl LII, as he spent time with his family on the red-and-blue confetti-filled playing field.

Patricia is expected to be named Detroit Lions head coach, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported last week.

Patricia, who joined the Patriots staff in 2004, shared an emotional exchange with his wife, Raina, on Sunday and rolled around in the confetti with his children.
