It’s happening. The Patriots are bringing back Matt Patricia.
Now you realize why Bill Belichick was so coy every time he was asked about Matt Patricia’s potential return to New England following his dismissal in Detroit.
I mean, you probably felt this reunion coming deep in your bones, but now you know for sure.
The news broke in a Friday news dump — as is Patriots tradition — that MattPat was coming home, not to serve as the defensive coordinator once more, but to assist in “a variety of roles,” presumably…pertaining to the defense.
