First-year Patriots vow not to let snow disrupt their Week 18 preparation

With a winter storm hitting Massachusetts, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick made sure to give his players the “snow speech” on Thursday morning. The basic message was this: make sure you are on time regardless of the conditions.

Belichick addressed the entire team, but in particular those who have no prior experience with the New England weather. Among them is defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.

A Louisiana native who played college football at LSU before a four-year stint with the Miami Dolphins, Godchaux has not had a lot of snow days in his life before.
