Patriots coach Bill Belichick, never particularly loquacious, was especially brief after losing 38-3 to the Cowboys on Sunday.
“We obviously didn’t do much of anything well enough to be competitive tonight,” he said in his opening remarks of the postgame press conference.
Belichick added that he still believes in the 1-3 Patriots.
“I think we’re a lot better team than we showed out there tonight, but that’s what we showed and that’s what it was,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.”
Asked why he thinks the Patriots — a team that struggled on both sides of the ball against the Cowboys — are better than what was shown on Sunday, Belichick cited the games prior to Week 4.
