Bill Belichick gets testy with reporter: ‘You can second-guess all the play calls you want’

“That’s your job, go ahead and do it.”

Bill Belichick wasn’t in the mood for scrutiny about the New England Patriots’ game plan in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14.

Belichick fielded a question about his usage of James White, who became a big factor in the game (6 carries, 33 yards; 5 receptions, 27 yards; a 35-yard pass on a trick play) after New England increased his snaps over running back Sony Michel.

“We did what we thought was best,” Belichick said during a postgame press conference on Sunday night. “We didn’t start slow. We scored the first time we had the ball. I don’t know. I might have missed it. Yeah, look, you can second-guess all the play calls you want. That’s fine. That’s your job, go ahead and do it. That’s fine. We did what we thought’s best, that’s all we do.”
