Belichick tells awesome Brady story about timeouts, clock management

Questionable timeout usage and bad clock management in general have been hot topics in the NFL this season.

One of the most glaring examples happened on Thanksgiving when Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus cost his team valuable seconds at the end of its game versus the Detroit Lions. The Bears lost, and Eberflus was fired the next day.

And then on Sunday night, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris didn't use all of his timeouts to help rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. as he was trying to lead Atlanta down the field for a potential game-winning field goal.
