The Patriots’ head coach has joined an elite club, where two other members are Don Shula (328 wins) and George Halas (318 wins). Interestingly, Belichick’s entry into this elite club comes on the same day as the news of his new multi-year contract with the Patriots was announced. Since Belichick is going to be associated with the Patriots for a long time, he has the opportunity to break Shula’s record.

How the Patriots ensured one of the biggest upsets of this season
On Sunday afternoon, the NFL world witnessed one of the biggest upsets of this season as the Patriots beat the Bills. Before this match, the Bills brutally dominated whenever they played against the Patriots. The Bills continuously beat the Patriots in their last 4 face-offs. One of the reasons why most NFL fans were favoring the Bills over the Patriots is because this season has been very bad for the Patriots; in their last 6 games, they won only one game, whereas the Bills were 4-2 in the league.
