Patriots notebook: What Bill Belichick had to say about facing Andy Reid in the AFC Championship

What are some of the hallmarks of an Andy Reid-coached team?

“I’d say the number one characteristic is they’re always good,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick told reporters at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday.

Reid, who began his NFL head coaching career with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, has fared considerably better against Belichick since migrating to the AFC in 2013. During his 14-year tenure with the Eagles, Reid faced Belichick four times and came up empty-handed each go-around, including a 24-21 loss in Super Bowl XXXIX 14 years ago. During his six-year tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs, however, Reid is 2-2.
