Following the Patriots’ 20-17 loss to the Commanders, Bill Belichick acknowledged the fine margins that decided the contest in his postgame press conference.
“Once again, a game where we had our chances,” said Belichick. “Had our chance at the end, just couldn’t make enough plays, and obviously had plenty of opportunities along the way that we need to make more out of.
“Disappointing result,” he added. “Have to do a better job of making the plays when we have an opportunity to make them. It’s a simple as that.”
The game was determined by a Mac Jones interception with 32 seconds remaining with the Patriots at Washington’s 41-yard line.
