The Patriots’ three-pass-attempt game was classic Bill Belichick

One thing that is so remarkable about Bill Belichick’s run with the Patriots is his team’s lack of a consistent identity. At times in the past two decades, New England has been a team built on its running game. At others, it’s been built on high-flying passing attacks. There’s often been a good defense in Foxborough—but not always. The Patriots’ ironclad rule of success is to not have ironclad rules: Their flexibility and discipline have been the only constants across Belichick’s tenure.

That malleability to meet any challenge was on display on Monday night, when the Patriots beat the Bills, 14-10, in a game in which they attempted three total passes. That’s right—three passes.
