New England Patriots assistant head coach Joe Judge recently left a little motivation for his players in the team’s locker room, according to wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Smith-Schuster spoke with reporters on Wednesday while wearing a light grey Patriots hoodie with the vintage “Pat Patriot” logo on it. He explained that Judge gave one to every player on the roster.
The garment contains a message on the back: “No one is coming; it’s up to us.”

The Patriots have been known for these kinds of mantras over the years–“Do your job” anyone?–and kudos to Judge for putting this one on the back of a dope looking sweatshirt. You really can’t go wrong with that classic logo.
After losing their first two games of the season at home to the Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins, the Patriots went on the road to nail down their first win of the season last week, 15-10 over the New York Jets.
The victory was their 15th straight over the Jets, but now things are about to get a lot tougher. New England will take on the 2-1 Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Sunday.
