FOXBORO, Mass. — While explaining his headline-grabbing comments that were caught on an NFL Films hot mic last week, Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers offered an unprompted endorsement of Bill Belichick.
Peppers said the head coach, who’s faced a barrage of criticism of late, isn’t to blame for New England’s worst season in more than 20 years.
“We’ve got one of the best coaches to ever coach, and he comes in week after week telling us what we have to do to win this game, who we have to stop, how we have to go about business,” Peppers said Friday.
