Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t have much to add when asked about his timeout usage in the final minute of Sunday night’s thriller against the Seattle Seahawks.
“I feel good about it,” Belichick said Monday afternoon, the day after the Patriots came up just short on their game-deciding drive.
With 36 seconds remaining and his team trailing, 35-30, Cam Newton connected with Julian Edelman for an 18-yard gain. Edelman was tackled by Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner before going out of bounds, so the clock continued to tick. Belichick elected to hang onto his final timeout, while the Patriots scurried to Seattle’s 13-yard line.
