Overview
- On Sirius XM's Let's Go podcast with Jim Gray, Belichick said Los Angeles was in trouble once it had to play from behind.
- He cited season-ending losses of tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt and Justin Herbert's hand issues as factors that limited a comeback.
- New England held the Chargers to 207 total yards and sacked Herbert six times as early chances, including a failed fourth down and a goal-to-go takeaway, went unused.
- Belichick credited Josh McDaniels for getting the offense on track after halftime, culminating in Drake Maye's fourth-quarter touchdown to Hunter Henry.
- Andy Borregales provided the early scoring with three field goals, and New England now prepares to face the Houston Texans on Sunday.
