Bill Belichick is one of the best coaches in NFL history, there’s no doubt about that. A six time Super Bowl champion and a 68.5 percent career win percentage (including the rough days in Cleveland), he’s established himself as a future Hall of Famer.
One of the things Belichick is most known for is choosing a player or two on the opposing team’s offense and building a defensive game plan around shutting them down.
In past seasons, any team knew if you could shut down Ezekiel Elliott, the Dallas Cowboys offense would fail.
