Patriots well and truly suckered by Miami Miracle
Bill Belichick is universally recognised as one of the best coaches — if not the best coach — in NFL history, and he owns the Super Bowl titles to prove it. That doesn’t mean he — or his entire New England Patriots staff — is infallible.
Exhibit A: The Miami Miracle. With the Patriots ahead by five points on Sunday, only seven seconds left, and the host Dolphins backed up at their own 31, New England sent out its Hail Mary defence. That unit includes tight end Rob Gronkowski, a hulking, 6-foot-6 ballhawk who certainly could be useful when it comes to batting down a wing-and-a-prayer long toss toward the end zone.
