Patriots head coach Bill Belichick moved into second place on the NFL’s all-time wins list on Sunday.

The 22-17 victory over the Jets was the 325th of Belichick’s career — regular season and postseason — and that broke a tie with former Bears coach George Halas for the No. 2 spot behind Don Shula.

“We’ll talk about that when it’s over and add them up at the end. It was good to come down here and win. Happy for our team and I appreciate all the great players we’ve had that have won those games,” Belichick said, via CBSNews.com. “A couple of them were in the locker room there — Devin McCourty, Matthew Slater, Jerod Mayo, Troy Brown. Those guys won a lot of games for us, for me. So those are really team wins.”

Shula had 347 wins over the course of his career, so it will be a little while before Belichick will be in striking distance of that mark.

  1. But how many of Halas’ wins were based on cheating? We already know most of BB’s are from the cheating advantage. Betting 0 of Halas’ involved cheating

  4. A cheating comment! Classic! Pure comedy gold!

    Congrats to Belichick on moving into second place. That level of success and longevity is rare and his love for the game is obvious.

  5. This sorry last place team can’t even beat the Jets without Goodell’s refs taking away classic patriots bust mac jones clutch pick 6 with a nonsense penalty.

  6. Thanks for the everything. The greatest GM and Coach in NFL history and still rolling into a new era.

    Yeah, because St.Vincent and Curly were such straight arrows, right?
    Congrats to Coach Belichick from this Bears fan, the competitive consistency of the Pats during his geniuses is enviable. I’d bet the Papa Bear would be OK with this – if he was going to be passed by anybody, he probably wouldn’t mind it being Belichick, given the history between his dad and Halas. It won’t surprise me if he is congratulated by Virginia McCaskey and the Bears.

  8. Coaching absolutely matters, a lot. Brian Dabol anyone? Lovie Smith (the anti-Brian Dabol) anyone (Lovie has actually made the Texans worse, hard to believe). To do what Bill Belichick has done in the time of a hard cap, in the time of real free agency (you only get guys for effectively 4 yrs, similar to college)…you don’t get to keep Joe Montana, Ronnie Lott, Jerry Rice (and about 7 other HoFers) for their entire career if you want because the player has no say in the matter…what the Hooded one has done in this era, is beyond amazing. No doubt the g.o.a.t. of NFL coaching, second isn’t close.
