The New England Patriots played their fourth and final night game of the 2018 NFL regular season Sunday night when they grabbed a 31-17 win over the Green Bay Packers at Gillette Stadium.

The remainder of New England’s games will be played in the afternoon. Unless, of course, one of their remaining contests gets flexed. For now, though, New England fans can look forward to not losing sleep due to a night game.

One person who certainly is happy to not be playing at night anymore is Bill Belichick. During his weekly appearance on WEEI’s “Ordway, Merloni and Fauria”, the head coach noted how much of a toll night games take on everyone.

“It is nice not to play at night, absolutely,” he said, as transcribed by WEEI.com’s Ryan Hannable. “The night games kill you. They get you the next day, and really it takes you a couple of days to get by them. Four out of the last five, but the schedule is what it is and for every long week there’s a short week and so whenever we play we just have to be ready to go. They are hard.”

Despite playing back-to-back games in prime time, Belichick praised his team for how they prepared for the schedule and the Packers.
