The Philadelphia Eagles will roll into Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon with one former member of the New England Patriots in tow.
It just so happens to be the guy who called their offensive plays last season.
Matt Patricia departed New England this past offseason in a move that was best for both sides. The longtime defensive assistant, who was hired by Philadelphia to work on that side of the ball, was inexplicably used as the Patriots’ offensive play-caller one year ago.
The results were disastrous, with the Patriots offense proving to be one of the worst in football and the relationship seemingly unsalvageable by the end.
