FOXBORO, Mass. — Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are no strangers to AFC East championships.
The Patriots clinched their seventh consecutive division crown — and their 13th since 2001 — Monday night, thanks to the New York Giants’ win over the Miami Dolphins.
However, winning a division title still is a sign of a successful regular season, and it brings a team one step closer to a potential Super Bowl. So surely there was some celebrating in the Belichick household when New England officially clinched the AFC East, right?
“No, just a lot of sleeping,” Belichick said Wednesday.
Or not.
