Locker room celebration videos are hard to come by for the Patriots these days. Such is life when you're a losing franchise over the last three-plus seasons.
But the script flipped Sunday afternoon, with New England earning a dramatic 29-25 home win over the Buffalo Bills in comeback fashion.
Bill Belichick was in a great mood, and rightfully so. His team picked up a season-saving victory, and his quarterback, Mac Jones, finally delivered a real game-winning drive.
Later Sunday evening, the Patriots' official Twitter account shared a video of Belichick's postgame locker room speech at Gillette Stadium.

"That's a hell of a job this week, fellas," Belichick told his players. "That's the way to believe in yourselves. That's the way to stick together. That's the way to compete for 60 minutes. Sixty minutes. Great job. Great job."
New England now is 2-5 through seven weeks. As encouraging as Sunday's victory was, it doesn't change the fact that the Patriots still are among the NFL's worst teams. If the season ended today, Belichick's team would own the sixth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Patriots will look to make it two wins in a row this Sunday when they visit the Miami Dolphins, who are coming off a Sunday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
