Thinking back to the week of practice leading up to the Patriots’ Sunday upset win over the Ravens, Cam Newton told “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday morning that it was another example of Bill Belichick seeing the future.
In this case, it was making players practice in difficult weather conditions.
“Coach [was] like, ‘Whatever we get out there, we’re going to practice in it,'” Newton recalled. “We had an opportunity to practice in some type of weather like that. I think it was beneficial for us.”
Amid heavy wind and rain, the Patriots played largely mistake-free football while the Ravens were unable to match them.
