New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick accepted the blame for his team's dreadful execution that led to Kenyan Drake's game-winning 69-yard touchdown reception in the Miami Dolphins' 34-33 victory Sunday.
"It starts with me," Belichick said Monday, per ESPN.com's Mike Reiss. "We have to play better situational football. We'll work to try to achieve that."
Belichick also explained why he used tight end Rob Gronkowski as one of New England's last lines of defense: "It would be his ability to play the deep, long throw."
Gronkowski looked to be in a position to stop Drake short of the goal line but took a bad angle that allowed Drake a path to the end zone.
