Even though the Patriots got absolutely demolished, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick walked into the Bills’ locker room after the playoff loss for an “extended period,” according to one report.
Obviously it wasn’t to talk crap after the Bills’ 47-17 super wild-card victory.
It was to credit the Bills for their performance. Specifically to quarterback Josh Allen.
Most one-on-one conversations with Belichick usually tend to be on the down-low, but Allen hared the details on what Belichick said to him face to face last Saturday night.
“He came up to me, which is really cool,” Allen told “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday. “I’ve got a lot of respect for him and what he’s done over his career, and obviously he’s one of the, if not the, greatest coach of all time.
“So for him to come up to me after a game and give me some kudos and dap me up meant a lot to me, just knowing the type of coach that he is, the type of players that he’s been around and he’s coached, and obviously the success that he’s had throughout his career. It was a pretty cool moment for me.”

“Just more respect … like, ‘What you did out there was awesome,’” Allen said. “‘You played well tonight. We didn’t have an answer.’
“Again, I shared respect right back, obviously, because I’m a big fan of his and I could go on and on about the accolades that he has. But again, for a coach to do that, that high caliber, was pretty special.”
Josh Allen completed 21 of 25 passes for 308 yards and five TD passes, along with rushing six times for 66 more yards.
Pretty much a perfect game.
Bill is a real mensch.
