FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick arrived at this post-game news conference following the team's 40-38 loss to the New York Giants in Thursday night's preseason finale, he was donning a red University of Houston hat.
"I want to give a little shout out to Houston," he said in his opening remarks, referencing the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey. "We had a great experience down there in February, a lot of great relationships with the Texans and the University down there. We've got some players with some family down there, so we just want to let them know we're thinking about them.
