BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – With his team just a few days away from playing the Eagles in Super Bowl LII, New England coach Bill Belichick had little interest in talking about the Patriots’ legacy as perhaps the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Belichick, arguably the greatest coach in league history, would dismissively answer such questions by pointing out that the Patriots’ past success – five Super Bowl titles and eight championship-game appearances in 16 years — have zero impact in preparing his team for the immediate task at hand Sunday inside Minneapolis’ shiny new U.S. Back Stadium.
Talk of dynasties was left to others.
