Bill Belichick admits he made 'mistake' on challenge in Patriots vs. Chargers

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was unsuccessful in his lone challenge during New England's Week 8 game versus the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.

The Chargers were called for holding deep inside their own territory early in the fourth quarter. Chargers guard Matt Feiler was penalized for holding Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore.

Belichick thought the penalty was on Chargers right tackle Storm Norton for holding Kyle Van Noy, and that it happened in the end zone. A holding penalty that takes place in the end zone is a safety, so Belichick challenged the play to try and get two points and possession of the ball.
