‘There has to be a coordinator change’: ESPN analyst’s take on fixing the Patriots’ offense

Tonight, the Celtics host the Pelicans at 7:30 p.m.

Tomorrow, the Bruins will also be at home for a 7 p.m. matchup with the Kraken.

Dan Orlovsky’s take on the Patriots’ offensive coaching situation: After a season of former defensive coordinator Matt Patricia calling plays for the Patriots’ offense, the results — an 8-9 season bereft of a playoff spot — proved to be underwhelming.

New England finished 17th in points scored, 26th in yards, and 27th in net yards per drive. Mac Jones, the Patriots’ second-year quarterback, struggled for much of the season, throwing just 14 touchdown passes against 11 interceptions.
