The New England Patriots’ 2022 season was a major disappointment. The team went just 8-9 on the year and missed out on a playoff spot for the second time in the last three seasons.
The theme of their offseason heading into 2023 is therefore turning the page, and the Patriots have been proactive in doing that.
They hired offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, among other assistants, to get the offense back on track; they made high-profile investments to bolster an already solid defense; they added new talent to strengthen the kicking game units. The Patriots knew what their problems were last year, and they have tried to correct them.
