Though it was seemingly unintentional, one of Bill Belichick’s responses to a question about his wide receivers was very telling.
The New England Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 17-14, on Sunday afternoon at Acrisure Stadium, avoiding their first 0-2 start since 2001. A big part of that win was Nelson Agholor, who finished the day with six catches for 110 yards and an acrobatic touchdown catch. The performance was Agholor’s best as a Patriot, which led to a smattering of questions about the 29-year-old in Belichick’s postgame press conference. One response, however, spoke volumes about a different Patriots wideout.
