Quick Facts New England Patriots season, Owner ...

Ahead of the season, longtime offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels left to become the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia was given offensive playcalling duties and former special teams coordinator Joe Judge was named quarterbacks coach, despite both having no prior offensive coaching experience. Under Patricia and Judge, the offense suffered a noticeable regression from the previous season, dropping from 15th in yards and sixth in points scored to 26th in yards and 17th in points scored.^[1]^[2] The decision to replace McDaniels with Patricia and Judge was widely criticized^[3]^[4]^[5] and both would be removed from the offense in favor of returning offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien for the 2023 season.

The season also saw the Patriots wear red and white throwback uniforms for the first time since 2012 after an NFL rule requiring teams to wear the same helmet designs for the entire season was rescinded.
