Notably, Belichick became the head coach of the Patriots back in 2000 and he has been coaching the team since then. Moreover, he has won 6 Super Bowl titles with the Patriots and 8 overall titles in his coaching career. Safe to say, he has earned the respect of every other NFL player and coach, not just Allen.

Allen is having an MVP-caliber season

Speaking of Allen, he has been exceptional this season. He threw 3183 yards for 23 touchdowns in 11 games so far. Apart from that, he also recorded 5 rushing yards. Certainly, he has been doing everything for the team, and many experts are picking the Bills as one of the favorites to reach the Super Bowl this season.

Allen’s performance has dipped a little bit in the last few games due to an elbow injury. However, he is slowly getting back to full fitness, which will help the team massively. Currently, they have not secured the top spot in the AFC East division, as the Dolphins are sitting in the top position with a similar record (8-3). The game against the Patriots has become really vital for Buffalo and their chances of the playoffs.
