Bill Belichick to Patriots in postgame locker room: “Winning today means we won next week”

The New England Patriots ended their 2018 regular season in style: the team blew out the visiting New York Jets 38-3 to improve their record to 11-5. The victory also helped New England secure a first-round bye in the playoffs as the number two seed in the AFC. Naturally, the mood in the locker room after the game was a celebratory one:

"Good job, Gronker."

"Hey you too, Tom!"
