Odds are Belichick will follow with some version of this answer: “We did what we thought was best for the football team.”It’s a verbal binky for Belichick.

There is no sense in adding cargo onto a sinking ship.It’s time to offload.The Dolphins out-gained the Patriots by close to a 2:1 ratio Sunday a...
