Bill Belichick Had Simple Reason For Wearing Two Masks In Patriots-Chiefs Game

Bill Belichick made doubly sure he followed the NFL’s mask mandate Monday night.

The New England Patriots head coach wore two masks — a black neck gaiter over a white, N95-style face covering — during his team’s 26-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Belichick continued to wear both masks during his postgame video conference and had them both on during his Tuesday afternoon presser, as well.

Belichick, who wore one mask on the sideline during the Patriots’ first three games, was asked why he added another Monday night.
