It’s almost a running gag at this point of how New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick can say a lot without really saying anything at all, but that clearly wasn’t the case at Thursday’s media conference.
There was a different weight to those words following the tragic incident that took place on the field during the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and collapsed during the game. His heartbeat was restored on the field, before he was rushed to the hospital and listed in critical condition.
