Bill Belichick focused on TCU, not potential win totals

Posted Aug 25, 2026
Asked about fans focusing on win totals, whether it's six wins or a bowl berth, Bill Belichick made clear his attention is fixed entirely on Saturday’s opener in Dublin against TCU. It was a throwback to his NFL days when he didn’t want to answer a postgame question and said, "On to [the Patriots’ next opponent]." "We’re focused on TCU," Belichick said. (Tar Heel Tribune)
