Patriots notebook: Bill Belichick sticks to the script after loss to Ravens

Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t want to get into the particulars Monday morning.

“We got to coach better, we got to play better, [and] we got to do better all the way around,’’ Belichick said on a conference call following New England’s first loss of the season.

Asked to assess specific performances from the 37-20 defeat against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday night, Belichick kept his remarks general. Questions about Tom Brady’s interception, Julian Edelman’s fumble, the run defense, and the offensive line were all met with a similar overarching response: The Patriots need to coach better and play better.
