Bill Belichick, Mac Jones, and the Patriots have done their best to douse the firestorm of media interest regarding their Week 4 matchup against Tom Brady in Foxborough, but after Sunday’s 28-13 loss to the Saints, they no longer have a buffer.
Previously, the Patriots could always point to their next opponent as their focus. Now, presumably, their focus is finally on their former superstar quarterback and his juggernaut team. As Belichick is fond of saying, the Patriots are “on to Tampa Bay.”
Right?
Maybe not.
“Right now we’re just focused on New Orleans,” Bill Belichick said after Sunday’s game.
