Bill Belichick chimes in on 'illegal bat' controversy from Monday night football

In wake of the controversial end to the Seahawks 13-10 Monday night victory over the Lions, where officials botched a call late, due in part to the play not being reviewed, Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked his thoughts about what transpired during a conference call a short time ago.

Belichick, of course, had made a pitch to the league to have every play and all situations reviewable and subject to challenge by the coaches. That suggestion didn’t fly.

Hence, another game where the outcome was potentially altered because a certain play - in this case, a batted ball out of bounds - couldn’t be reviewed.
