Patriots' Bill Belichick Asked Whether He Plans on Coaching Next Season

Patriots coach Bill Belichick told reporters Sunday it would be "accurate" to say that he wants to return to New England next season after being asked if coaching was still something he wants to do.

Belichick signaled his intention to return on the morning after New England's 47–17 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round.

After the loss, which saw Buffalo score touchdowns on its first seven possessions of the game, Belichick admitted that the Patriots "just couldn’t keep up with them tonight."

"Certainly deserved to win...Well coached, team executed well, and we just couldn’t do much of anything.
