'That's a 10-minute answer'
FOXBORO, Mass. — It was all good vibes for Matthew Judon, Bill Belichick and the Patriots following Sunday’s 26-3 win over the hapless Indianapolis Colts.
New England’s defense sacked quarterback Sam Ehlinger a whopping nine times, with Judon accounting for three of them. The Patriots’ offense didn’t do much of anything, but Belichick’s team did get a mostly solid performance from the special teams unit, highlighted by a pair of great returns from rookie cornerback Marcus Jones and a blocked punt.
Speaking of Jones, Belichick finished his postgame news conference with a long answer about the dynamic returner’s preparation and impact on Sunday’s game. The detailed soliloquy amused Judon, who had a front-row seat in the press conference room at Gillette Stadium.
“Damn, Coach, that was a 10-minute answer!” a laughing Judon said before dapping up Belichick. Judon then took the podium and promised to not give any similarly long answers.

Judon and the Patriots now will enjoy their bye week before hosting the Jets in a pivotal Week 11 matchup. New York pulled off a stunning win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and in doing so held onto an AFC playoff spot.
New England, despite moving to 5-4 with its win over the Colts, remains in last place in the AFC East.
