New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick supported quarterback Tom Brady's decision-making when asked Tuesday about the final drive of Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, Belichick gave a lengthy answer regarding Brady turning the ball over on downs to seal New England's second consecutive loss:

With 20 seconds remaining in the game, Brady threw a pass intended for wide receiver Julian Edelman toward the end zone rather than checking it down to running back James White to potentially pick up the first down.
