The New England Patriots lost control of the AFC East on Sunday after suffering a heartbreaking loss to the Buffalo Bills. With their playoff hopes up in the air, this team must focus to stay within reach of the postseason. However, during the post-game interview, Bill Belichick was asked a unique question. New England's head coach delivered quite the amusing response.

It's important to note, that Bill Belichick doesn't provide a ton of information during his press conferences. He speaks with a monotone voice and typically makes for a boring interview. Additionally, most questions during this time are about the game at hand.

According to Will D., Belichick was asked about his New Years' resolution for 2022. Just an oddball question to ask any head coach after a tough loss to a division rival. However, it wasn't the question that was amusing, it was Belichick's response. The Patriots head coach was having none of it after the loss to the Bills.

For starters, it's an inappropriate time to ask Belichick about his New Year's resolutions. Furthermore, Belichick just straight-up denies answering altogether. Can anybody blame him? Why should the Patriots head coach answer a question like that when the wound of losing first place in the AFC East is still fresh?

Regardless, the Patriots are still in a position to make the postseason. With just two games left, New England is close to clinching a spot in the playoffs. We'll see how it plays out, but Bill Belichick has been in this scenario before. Catch their next game in Week 17, as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Maybe Belichick will be more open to talking about his New Year's resolutions after, what should be, an easy win for the Patriots.
