It hasn’t even been 24 hours since Bill Belichick and his New England Patriots earned their fifth Super Bowl championship. However, that isn’t stopping Belichick from shifting his focus to the offseason.

“As of today, and as great as today feels and as great as today is, in all honesty we’re five weeks behind in the 2017 season to most teams in the league.

Throughout Belichick’s 17-year career in Foxborough, you wouldn’t expect anything less from the greatest coach in NFL history. It’s just business as usual.
