Here’s what Bill Belichick told the New England Patriots in the locker room after deafening the Dallas Cowboys, 13-9, on Sunday at Gillette Stadium. The coach addressed his team about the complete performance that put the Patriots at 10-1.
“Congratulations, men,” Belichick said. “That is a great job. You want to talk about situational football, all the way. All three phases. Really, hell of a job making plays on offense, defense. Great four-minute drive here at the end. Blocked punt. Defense, no touchdowns. I mean, it is a good team victory. It’s what we need. That is what we’ve been working for. It’s who we are — whatever the conditions are, whatever it takes.
“Congratulations, men. That is the way to grind it out this week, grind it out today. (Took) good care of the football. Damn good win, 10-1.”
