Bill Belichick is taking the blame for the New England Patriots\' breakdown on the Miami Dolphins\' game-ending 69-yard touchdown Sunday.
He also explained the decision to put Rob Gronkowski on the field in place of safety Devin McCourty in the Hail Mary defensive package.
\"It starts with me. We have to play better situational football. We\'ll work to try to achieve that,\" said Belichick, who wanted Gronkowski on the field to \"play the deep, long throw.\"
The Dolphins had the ball at their own 31-yard line on the play.
\"It was a little too far to get to the end zone, but certainly a deep pass in that situation is a possibility. I wouldn\'t rule that out,\" the coach said.
