3 reasons not to worry about Matt Patricia’s defense getting smoked in the Super Bowl

If you were looking for a promising Super Bowl finale for Matt Patricia before he becomes the Detroit Lions next coach, you didn’t get your wish... by a longshot. The New England Patriots’ defense was worked all game, as they dropped Super Bowl 52, 41-33.

The Philadelphia Eagles offense was relentless, picking up a whopping 538 yards. The Patriots offense actually outgained the Eagles 613-538, but that wasn’t enough to overcome Nick Foles and the Eagles.

Patriots about to lose a Super Bowl in which they did not punt and have 576 yards of total offense.
