“It hasn’t always been good, but I’d say it’s been competitive.” Belichick dug into the team’s drive and competitive spirit throughout the season as reasons the team has made it this far.
Belichick also highlighted the team’s workethic as a reason for their successes this year. Rookie quarterback Mac Jones and running back Damien Harris have been the keys to the team’s offense and will look to be major contributors come the playoffs.
