FOXBORO -- Bill Belichick was not in any mood to start revealing his behind-the-scenes pre-kickoff routine on game-days. The air of focus he's exhibited during his media-availability periods this week continued on Friday, particularly when he was asked about his Sunday rituals.
When a reporter wondered if there was anything in particular Belichick does before a game, he initially said simply, "No."
A follow-up about superstitions was tossed Belichick's way next. He swatted that aside as well.
"Try to play and coach good," he explained. "Goes a long way."
There you have it. An easy-step-by-step guide on how to approach a game like a future Hall-of-Famer.
