During his appearance on ESPN’s 'ManningCast,' former Patriots coach Bill Belichick revisited the historic Super Bowl LI comeback against the Falcons, recalling Falcons owner Arthur Blank prematurely celebrating on the sidelines. Belichick took multiple digs at the Falcons, criticizing their defensive performance in their recent game against the Eagles and mentioning their tampering violations during free agency. He also expressed surprise and apparent resentment over not being hired as the Falcons' head coach, a position that went to Raheem Morris. Belichick's comments were interspersed with humor, including a light-hearted exchange with the Manning brothers about his Super Bowl losses to the Eagles.
