The Patriots have claimed the AFC East crown for the eighth straight season behind Belichick's tough-love approach. The wily head coach has not only unleashed a dynamic offense that torments opponents with a physical running game and dink-and-dunk aerial attack, but he has quietly put together a stingy defense that's only allowing 16.6 points per game ( tops in the league). Considering how the unsung unit has done it without star power, Belichick deserves every accolade for pulling rabbits out of the hat in Foxborough.
