Bill Belichick: 'Hard to picture' being linked with coaching legends

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- If the New England Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII, Bill Belichick will join George Halas and Curly Lambeau as the only coaches to win six NFL championships since postseason play began in 1933.

Belichick enters the game tied with Vince Lombardi, with five titles, which puts him in esteemed company.

“It’s hard for me to really picture that. They’re such great, legendary coaches,” Belichick said. “I don’t really see myself ... I don’t think of it that way. I just think of how great they were, what they meant to the game and what they accomplished.
