ATLANTA — In a coaching career as decorated as any, Bill Belichick continued to make history with the Patriots’ Super Bowl victory over the Rams on Sunday night.

Belichick joined exclusive company with the 13-3 victory, becoming the third coach in NFL history to win six championships, and the first to do it in the Super Bowl era. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell praised the Patriots coach at Monday morning’s Super Bowl MVP press conference.

“Coach has had incredible, unprecedented success,” Goodell said. “We’re grateful to see him continue to bring football teams together in a way that I don’t think any coach has ever done in the history of the game.”

Halas coached Chicago to NFL championships in 1921, 1933, 1940, 1941, 1946 and 1963, while Lambeau guided Green Bay to titles in 1929-31, 1936, 1939 and 1944.

Belichick was honored to be mentioned in the same breath as those two. He said he grew up watching Halas, whose defensive coordinator Chuck Mather was a friend of his dad’s. But in typical fashion, he deflected to what the team achieved, rather than anything he’s done individually.

“It’s incredibly flattering, but really, for me, it’s about what the team accomplishes,” Belichick said. “The most important thing for me is for our team to be able to hold that Lombardi Trophy and say that we were champions. It took everybody. It took the entire team and organization to put forth a superior and supreme effort to achieve that, and that’s really what it’s about. It’s about how all of us came together and kind of pulled our weight so the team could achieve its goals. It’s what we’re able to accomplish as a team that makes me most proud.”
