INDIANAPOLIS — In theory, this should be the most stressful week of the year for the Patriots and Giants. And maybe it has been, though no one would admit as much.
In fact, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said it hasn't affected him at night. He was asked Friday if he's been able to sleep well this week or if he's been tossing and turning in anticipation of Super Bowl XLVI.
"Slept like a baby," Belichick said. "Honestly, I usually do during the season. I start early and have a full day of things that I need to do to prepare myself and prepare the team. When it gets to the early part of the evening or so, I'm usually kind of getting worn out and go to bed, sleep well, wake up in the morning and start fresh. At the end of the day, I'm tired and have no problem rolling and putting my head on that pillow, and I'm out."
