The New England Patriots came out of a wet Gillette Stadium on Sunday evening with a huge W against the Baltimore Ravens and they have none other than the great Bill Belichick to thank. The six-time Super Bowl champion tactician had all the answers on Sunday to Lamar Jackson and the rest of the Ravens as he pulled off a crucial 23-17 home win.
Patriots QB Cam Newton, who was instrumental in Sunday's win, had no other choice but to praise his head coach. The former NFL MVP even went a little creative after the game on what he thought of Belichick's in-game calls.
“I'm beginning to think he either has a Staples ‘easy' button, a Buffallo Wild Wings button or a straight direct line to the football gods.” Newton said of Belichick after the win (per Zack Cox of NESN).
Cam Newton said Bill Belichick knew exactly what the Patriots would need to do to win tonight. Called him a "football whisperer."

Whatever button Belichick was pressing on Sunday night sure worked wonders for the Patriots, who were finally able to grab their first back-to-back wins this season.
After going down early in the second quarter, the Patriots marched right back into the match and were able to grab a slim 13-10 lead heading into the halftime break. Newton then galloped his way to the end zone to keep the Ravens at bay to open the third quarter and the Patriots never looked back.
Newton ended up outplaying his QB counterpart in Jackson as he tallied two TDs on the night and completed 13 of his 17 passes with zero interceptions.
Belichick made the all the right calls on Sunday including chalking a play to put the the ball in the hands of WR Jakobi Meyers who knocked down an incredible heave to RB Rex Burkhead to score on the Pats' go-ahead TD right before the half.
