There's a few more but this one is funny and I remember that game very well...it never made any sense to me. Belichick got credit for having huge stones that half.

"Before games, we've got guys that like to throw the football around just to warm up. They're not quarterbacks or receivers. They just go out and mess around. Our punter at the time (Ken Walter) was crossing the field when one of these guys lets go of a bomb like the Flutie Hail Mary, and this thing hits our punter square in the head and knocks him out.
"This was right before a big game against the Colts, and he's the only guy we have that can punt. (Adam) Vinatieri can't punt and (Walter's) knocked out cold for three or four minutes. We get him back in the locker room and he has no idea where he is. Thank God we didn't have to punt until right before halftime. We actually went for (first downs) at times we would never go for it. They (the Colts) just thought we were being bold.
