The New England Patriots hired offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien last offseason to help get the offense back on track. But through 12 weeks, the unit ranks 31st in the NFL averaging just 13.5 points per game.
While poor quarterback play has been the main cause of those issues, O’Brien put the blame on himself for the offenses regression.
“Things haven’t gone great for [Mac Jones] this year. I don’t think he’s the No. 1 guy to blame. If you want to blame anybody, blame me. I’m the one that designs it and it’s not going very well,” the coordinator told reporters Tuesday.
