Michael Smith: The Bill Belichick era in New England is over originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Are Bill Belichick's days as the head coach in Foxboro numbered?
Since Tom Brady's departure in 2020, Belichick and the New England Patriots have gone 26-29 and missed the playoffs in two of the three years. They're on track to do the same this season as they limp into Week 6 with a 1-4 record and two consecutive blowout losses.
The Patriots' 38-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4 marked the worst margin of defeat in Belichick's 29 years as an NFL head coach.
