Why Bill Belichick’s Two-Point Gamble Was Right for North Carolina

Posted Oct 27, 2025
The dilemma: Kick the extra point to stay with the nation’s No. 16 team or go for two and the win? UNC Football coach Bill Belichick chose the latter. Gio Lopez connected with Benjamin Hall on a pass, but Hall was stopped just short of the end zone, the ball in his hands about an inch from the goal line. Belichick made the right call in going for the win. (Sports Illustrated)
