The Patriots’ upset win over the Steelers on Thursday ended a five-game losing streak as they’re in the midst of their worst in decades. Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers gave it some extra meaning.
Following the win, the Patriots safety told reporters that they could “get it done for Bill [Belichick],” adding that he didn’t like the “flak” his head coach has been getting.
Belichick said that Peppers’s comments were “great” when he was asked about them during his digital press conference on Friday. However, Belichick also made it a point to show some gratitude for his players.
