Patriots coach Bill Belichick is tied for the second-most wins in NFL history with George Halas.

Monday night’s matchup of the Bears and Patriots gives us an example of the different ways NFL teams march ahead. Or tread water. Or move backward.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick, you probably have heard, is tied for the second-most wins in NFL history with a certain man named George Halas.

Each has 324 wins, regular season and playoffs combined. Belichick needs only 24 more to pass No. 1 Don Shula (347 wins) for first all time.
