Bill Belichick's gloves are starting to come off.

Belichick mostly refrained from discussing the New England Patriots on his various media platforms through the first three weeks of the season, aside from a brief swipe at his former team's clock management in Week 2.

That changed Monday after the Patriots' lopsided loss to the San Francisco 49ers, when Belichick was asked on The Pat McAfee Show what he thought of head coach Jerod Mayo's "plan" to keep Jacoby Brissett as the starting quarterback ahead of rookie Drake Maye.
