Miami Dolphins 33, New England Patriots, 24
BILL BELICHICK: Obviously played poorly, coached poorly, didn't do anything very well. So just too many -- too many mistakes, way too many so...
We'll go look at the film, turn the page here and make some corrections and move on to next week. So that's really about it.
Q. Bill, right before halftime on that fourth and 1, was the play just to try to draw the other team off sides?
BILL BELICHICK: It was another poorly executed play.
Q. Was there any thoughts of going for it there?
BILL BELICHICK: The whole thing was poorly executed.
Q. Is there a common denominator there of some of these slow starts?
BILL BELICHICK: I don't know. Not sure.
Q. Bill, on the fumbled snap, was there something with David that physically that had him -- or was that more rotation?
BILL BELICHICK: A poorly executed play.
Q. Bill, from what you could tell, was Miami in some sort of trap coverage on Mac's pick?
BILL BELICHICK: Cover 2.
Q. What would you like to see out of your team this week as you prepare for the playoffs?
BILL BELICHICK: Well, we'll go back to work here, like I said, look at the game today and get ready for next week.
Q. Is there any positive to take away how the team battled back there in the fourth?
BILL BELICHICK: It wasn't good enough today so -- leave it at that.
Q. How much did the factor that you needed some defensive backs with Kyle Dugger down and Myles and not available contribute to not having Kristian Wilkerson elevated after his performance last week?
BILL BELICHICK: Didn't really have anything to do with it.
Q. What was the factor that led to him not being elevated after his performance last week?
BILL BELICHICK: Yeah. You're only allowed two standard activations.
Q. Have you received any update on Isaiah Wynn or Christian Barmore?
BILL BELICHICK: No.
Q. When Hunter was up here, he said you guys needed to get back to playing clean football. Is there a key to that that you see?
BILL BELICHICK: Yeah. Playing clean football. Yeah. Doing it. We're not doing it now.
Q. You know the Bills. Have you started scouting the Bengals at all?
BILL BELICHICK: It's what we normally do, Ben. There's people in the organization that work ahead and there's other people that work on this game and they move into it. So it's the same thing.
Q. On the penalty on the punt illegal formation, is that just the player lining up over the snap or illegally?
BILL BELICHICK: What do you mean?
Q. What was the -- I was curious --
BILL BELICHICK: Yeah.
Q. That's what the penalty was?
BILL BELICHICK: Yep.
Q. The pass interference on Jalen Mills in the end zone, big play. Seemed like kind of a questionable penalty. You didn't seem to thrilled about it. How do you feel about the way some of those penalties were called today?
BILL BELICHICK: Go talk to the officials.
Q. Do you feel like they've been calling DPI tighter this year?
BILL BELICHICK: I don't know. Go talk to the officials. It's not my job.
Q. The Dophins' offense, what did they come out with that put stress on you on that first drive?
BILL BELICHICK: Again, a lot of poor execution, poor execution, poor playing.
All right. Thank you.
