Bill Belichick says moving on from big Duke win tougher, Syracuse better than record

Posted Oct 21, 2026
Bill Belichick has spent most of the season stressing that each game has to be put away quickly. After UNC's win at Duke, he said it took more effort than usual. The Tar Heels’ players have said all year that Sunday is the day to turn the page, and Belichick acknowledged the Victory Bell celebration made it harder. "It took a little longer," he said Monday.
