The New England Patriots offense is coming off a bad season, and in order to get the team back into playoff contention the unit will need to show some significant improvement. That starts at the very top, with quarterback Mac Jones and the coaching staff led by newly-hired coordinator Bill O’Brien.
The old saying about football being the ultimate team sport still rings true, however. Jones and O’Brien can only do so much even if they live up to their potential: if the rest of the offense continues to stagnate the Patriots’ offensive success will again be miniscule.
