FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots' Bill Belichick, the league's longest-tenured head coach, repeated his stance Monday that coaches should be allowed to challenge plays under two minutes.

Belichick did so after being asked about a key play in the Minnesota Vikings' thrilling 33-30 overtime victory over the Buffalo Bills, in which Buffalo receiver Gabe Davis' 20-yard catch with 17 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter wasn't reviewed by officials.

NFL senior vice president of officiating Walt Anderson later said the play -- which was critical in setting up a tying field goal to send the game into overtime -- should have been reviewed and ruled incomplete.
