FOXBOROUGH, MA—Lauding the team for making necessary sacrifices for the greater cause, New England head coach Bill Belichick praised the 2019 Patriots Tuesday for their discipline and dedication in building the device. “This a driven team—they’re working day in and day out, putting it all together, always aware that they are working towards a glorious goal,” said the 67-year-old signal caller, commending rookie linebacker Chase Winovich for the hours he’s spent in the film room, studying the device’s origins and inner workings. “This organization is dedicated to greatness, and they know the device will get us there. We’re closer than we’ve ever been to completing it, and I appreciate that they’re not taking the task lightly. It’s always tough when players lose a few limbs, but that’s all part of the proces s.” At press time, Julian Edelman was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game after team doctors diagnosed the wide receiver with “The Madness.”
