Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could have passed George Halas in career wins Monday night. Papa Bear’s heirs, though, are thrilled he didn’t do it against their team — and told Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as much.
Belichick entered Monday night’s game tied with Halas for the second-most coaching wins all-time, with 324. The Bears, though, pulled a 33-14 stunner to keep Belichick from passing the Bears founder. Members of the Bears’ ownership group thanked him afterward.
