Patriots owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick address the media.

The only game the Bears would win in a 374-day span meant a lot to the McCaskeys.

On Oct. 24, 2022, the Bears’ 33-14 “Monday Night Football” victory kept Patriots coach Bill Belichick from passing founder George Halas on the all-time wins list.

“They were all pleased with that,” coach Matt Eberflus said at the time.

Belichick pushed past “Papa Bear” for second place on the all-time wins list, including the playoffs, the next week against the Jets.
