On Sunday, Miami Dolphins fans hoped to watch the Cleveland Browns knock the Patriots from the unbeaten. Instead, they got to witness Bill Belichick enter the record books with his sights set on Don Shula’s all-time win record.
With the Patriots win on Sunday, Bill Belichick notched his 300th win, regular season and post-season combined. He is now 47 games shy of the record currently held by Don Shula. He is 24 wins behind George Halas for number two.
While Belichick became only the third player in NFL history to get to the 300 win total, it comes with a lot of asterisks.
