When a team like the Cowboys hands Bill Belichick, an expected Hall of Fame coach, the biggest loss of his career, you better believe it’s newsworthy.
For the better part of two decades Belichick has widely been regarded as the top head coach in the NFL. He’s the only coach to have won six Super Bowls and with 299 career wins, he ranks third all-time.
Since Tom Brady departed the greater Boston area, success had been harder to come by for the 71-year-old coach. Yet the NFL’s ultimate strategist and legendary defensive mind has found a way to always keep things close. Until, of course, he met up with the Cowboys in Week 4.
With the final score of 38-3, the Cowboys bested New England by 35 points, topping the previous record of 31-points set back in 2003. It spoke to Dallas’ dominance on both sides of the ball and reestablished the Cowboys as a top-3 powerhouse in the NFC.
