COMMENTARY
Shortly after watching his team lose Sunday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick took to the podium and seemed even grimmer after a loss than usual.
Belichick’s monotone delivery was still detectable after the 33-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills, knocking the Patriots out of the top spot in the AFC East in the process. But it was also accompanied by a tinge of sadness, almost as if the coach were given some bad news just before entering the press briefing. He was even cordial, or, at least sympathetic, to a reporter who asked him to share his New Year’s resolutions.
