Report: How Belichick's role has changed with O'Brien leading Pats offense

The New England Patriots had plenty of cooks in the offensive kitchen last season, and it didn't yield the best results. Apparently they've learned their lesson.

After a disastrous 2022 campaign in which senior football advisor/offensive line coach Matt Patricia collaborated with head coach Bill Belichick and quarterbacks coach Joe Judge to run the offense, the Patriots quickly course-corrected this offseason by hiring a legitimate offensive coordinator in Bill O'Brien.

O'Brien has already made his presence felt at New England's organized team activities, and Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer shared some interesting details about how the Patriots' operation looks much different this year.
