The Patriots hosting the Cardinals in December 1984.

The 1984New England Patriots season was the franchise's 15th season in theNational Football League and 25th overall. The Patriots finished the season with a record of nine wins and seven losses, and finished second in theAFCEast Division.

Head coachRon Meyer, who had coached the Patriots for the previous two seasons, was fired halfway through the season. Meyer had angered several of his players with public criticism. After a 44–24 loss toMiami in week 8, Meyer fired popular defensive coordinatorRod Rust; Meyer himself was fired by Patriots management shortly thereafter.[1]

The Patriots went outside the organization to hireRaymond Berry, who had been New England's receivers coach from1978 to1981 under coachesChuck Fairbanks andRon Erhardt. Berry had been working in the private sector in Medfield, Massachusetts, when the Patriots called him to replace Meyer. Berry's first order of business was to immediately rehire Rust.

Under Berry's leadership, the Patriots won four of their last eight games. Berry's importance to the team was reflected less in his initial win–loss record than in the respect he immediately earned in the locker room – "Raymond Berry earned more respect in one day than Ron Meyer earned in three years," according to running backTony Collins.[2]
