Do Your Job Part III: Bill Belichick and the 2018 Patriots

At 8:00 PM ET, Do Your Job Part III: Bill Belichick and the 2018 Patriots airs on NFL Network, providing a detailed and close-up look at the New England Patriots' sixth Super Bowl title in franchise history.

In the hour-long show narrated by actor Morgan Spector, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator/quarterback coach Josh McDaniels break down the team's run through the playoffs, resulting in their third Super Bowl championship in the last five years. Additionally, for the first time Belichick and McDaniels provide personal insight into their relationship, which began in 2001 when McDaniels was a coaching assistant – the season in which the Patriots won their first Super Bowl.

Among the topics discussed in Do Your Job Part III include:

Josh McDaniels beginning his Patriots coaching career as an assistant on defense before transitioning to offense in 2004

Provided below are select quotes from Do Your Job Part III:

- "It's not OK to be good. It's not OK to be detailed most of the time. What I want is as close to perfect as you can be." – Josh McDaniels on the work ethic and level of commitment Bill Belichick expects from his assistant coaches

- "I've learned a lot from him. He has a perspective that's valuable for me to understand." – Bill Belichick on Josh McDaniels

- "It's hard for me to imagine somebody being a better role model and a better leader for a young coach. He gives you responsibility and then he lets you do your job." – Josh McDaniels on Bill Belichick

- "It's just who plays the best on that day. That's really what this team embraced, was competition…They gave their absolute best and eventually the results were exceptional." – Bill Belichick on the Patriots

- "I give him a little bit of input but 90 to 95 percent it's his plan, his vision. Rarely do we see things that differently." – Bill Belichick on how he and Josh McDaniels come up with a game plan

- "This is the most important goal line play that we've run all season. Tie game in the Super Bowl in the fourth quarter. I'm constantly thinking about the players and the things that we're most comfortable doing and executing because under pressure that's what they want to do." – Josh McDaniels' thought process on what play to run before the go-ahead touchdown in Super Bowl LIII

- "We were adaptable. Tom [Brady], if he's supposed to hand it off 37 times and win that way then he'll do it. If we need him to throw it 52 times, then he'll do that too. It's the same way Bill [Belichick] is. Bill doesn't care if we have to win 43-40 or 13-10. The willingness to be able to do that is really a special trait." – Josh McDaniels on the Patriots' offense at the end of the year

- "Offensively it was to try to have some balance, not play the game from behind where we had to throw every down and let them tee off on the quarterback." – Bill Belichick on the game plan against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game

America's Game: 2018 Patriots

At 9:00 PM ET, America's Game: 2018 Patriots premieres, featuring in-depth interviews with Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, Devin McCourty and Jason McCourty telling the story of the Super Bowl LIII champion New England Patriots.

- "I thought it was the perfect time. I was excited to see what it would bring, and what we would bring out of each other being on the same team again." – Jason McCourty joining the Patriots

- "I had some butterflies driving into the facility more than I've had in the years past for your first day. I was excited, I was nervous, I was ecstatic, I was emotional." – Julian Edelman on returning from injury and a four-game suspension

- "This was a long year; we weren't supposed to be here. Everyone thinks we're going to lose, everyone thinks we're not good enough, our time's over. But we're here, and we're ready to work." – Julian Edelman on making Super Bowl LIII

- "I knew the ball was coming to me, and I had a seam route. And, boom, I made that motion right at the right time, where only I could go out there and make a play. Tom [Brady] put the ball up right where I could do it, and first down. It was one of the biggest plays of my career." – Rob Gronkowski on the final catch of his NFL career, which set up the go-ahead touchdown in Super Bowl LIII

- "The third one is the most special one for me, but it's only because he's here. Just imagining what he feels like. I'm sitting here, and I feel great, and this is my third time doing this. And that's all I could think about was he has this feeling now." – Devin McCourty on his brother Jason McCourty

- "Whenever you're at the top like that, people just make up stuff saying that the Patriots dynasty is done. They've said it every year, and one year they will be right. But they've never been right yet." – Rob Gronkowski
