The former New England coach couldn't resist.
It’s been months since the Belichick and the Patriots parted ways, but the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach has still been quietly rooting for his old team—even if he and his successor, Jerod Mayo, have different definitions of the word,one day after the Pats’ 25-22 win over the Jets, and he couldn’t hide his glee over the game’s result.
He also apparently couldn’t hide his Patriots game balls from his many wins over the Jets during his 24-season head-coaching tenure in Foxboro. “We saw all the balls behind you, very clever,” McAfee pointed out to Belichick, who joined the show with a background of footballs and awards on his wall. “Those seemingly are all New England Patriots vs. Jets games…”
“Yeah, the one behind me, I think that was our 21st straight win,” Belichick said with a wry smile. “I had a few Jets balls up there on the shelf, so thought this would be a good time to pull them out.”Both the Patriots and Jets currently own a 2-6 record and sit at the bottom of the AFC East with their playoff windows just about closed for the season.
