Bill Belichick moves into 2nd place with 325th win as a head coach

The Chicago Bears made sure Bill Belichick didn’t move past their legendary coach George Halas on the all-time NFL wins list for coaches, including playoffs, by downing his New England Patriots on Monday.

The New York Jets were unable to deter their former, um, coach, from moving into second behind Don Shula on Sunday.

The New England Patriots got 5 field goals from Nick Folk and a strong defensive performance as they downed the Jets, 22-10, at MetLife Field.

Shula had 347 wins in his career. Belichick now has 325. Halas had 324.

The victory was also Belichick’s 100th in the regular season against AFC East opponents as coach of the Patriots. He has now beaten the Jets 13 straight times.

Belichick passed Shula for the second-most regular-season victories by a head coach with one team. Belichick now has 258 regular-season wins with the Patriots, one better than Shula’s total with the Miami Dolphins. Halas holds that record with 318.
