After the Patriots lost 41-14 to the Chiefs in Week 4 of the 2014 season, Bill Belichick famously said, “We’re on to Cincinnati.” But Bill’s son Steve Belichick remembers some other words spoken after that Patriots loss.
What Steve Belichick, the Patriots’ safeties coach, remembers is that former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer said on ESPN after that loss that the Patriots weren’t good anymore. And so, after the Patriots won the Super Bowl two and a half years later, Steve Belichick confronted Dilfer on the field.
“The only encounter I had, and I understood it, was on the field after the game against the Falcons [Super Bowl LI],” Dilfer said on WEEI.
