SEATTLE – Patriots coach Bill Belichick opened his postgame press conference with the following remarks:
“OK, well that was a great example of 60 minutes. I thought our team really did a good job of hanging in there today. We didn’t get off to a real good start, but they hung in there, and kept fighting, and just plugged away for 60 minutes and came out with a win. It’s a real credit to the players the way they fought in the fourth quarter, on the road, behind a couple times. We closed the gap, then they stretched it out again. It was a heck of an effort by our football team, by our players. We had a few guys banged up in the game, but people stepped in and they stepped up, and made plays we had to make to win. Third down. Fourth down. Offense. Defense. Special teams. It was a good win for us, and now it’s like it’s a three-game season. We just have to pick up the pieces here today, have a good week, and get ready for Oakland. It’s really good to win here, and it was a good effort today. I thought the players really played hard and showed a lot of toughness – both mental and physical toughness out there today.”
This is one of the best postgame interviews I have heard from BB......brings tears to your eyes......"I just want to see these guys go out and win just one more for the gipper"......beautiful.....
