FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It is the midpoint of the NFL season, the time when many take stock of some of the top performers through the first half of the year.

Don't count Bill Belichick in that group.

During his Wednesday news conference, Belichick was asked about quarterback Tom Brady receiving accolades from many for his first-half performance and how nice it was to see that.

"That's great, but honestly, I don't think anybody is really focused on that. We're focused on the Giants [rather than] some midseason report card. Like who cares? What difference does it make? Give me an F. Give me a C-plus. It doesn't matter," he said. "Right now I'm focused on the Giants. That's all I really care about."

Asked what grade he'd give Brady, Belichick responded, "I don't give grades. I'm worried about the Giants. Trying to beat the Giants. I don't really care about some midseason midterm grades. Give me whatever you want. I don't care."
