Give The Devil His Due

With the New England Patriots winning Super Bowl LIII yesterday, I think all the credit goes not to quarterback Tom Brady, but to Head Coach Bill Belichick.

His defensive schemes, thanks to coordinator Brian Flores, pretty much contained the high-scoring Los Angeles Rams.

Defense wins championships, and on a day when the Rams' defense was going toe-to-toe with the Pats and keeping Brady in check, New England's job on LA was amazing. Some of us do enjoy defensive football. And the game was entertaining in that respect. Had the Rams shown any sort of offense, they had a chance to win.

For Belichick, that's six championships in 18 years. So I'll give the devil his due.
