During the New England Patriots’ preseason opener against the New York Giants, Matt Patricia and Joe Judge split offensive play-calling duties. Throughout the summer, it has been Patricia who has primarily handled the duties. Bill Belichick has not named (and likely won't) an official offensive coordinator yet, though.
As Brian Hoyer took the field to start Thursday night, Patricia, who’s official title is senior football advisor/offensive line coach, called the plays. He handled those duties for the opening two series with Hoyer under center, before handing them over to Joe Judge, who works under the title of offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach, when rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe replaced Hoyer.
