“We’ll turn the page here and move on”, Belichick added.
In Sunday’s victory over the Arizona Cardinals, he completed 19 of 28 passes for 335 yards and 2 touchdowns. Manning has five NFL MVP awards and a Super Bowl ring, but he barely lost the 1997 Heisman Trophy to Michigan’s Charles Woodson, and Manning’s college, Tennessee, won the national title the year after he left school.

“Every player and coach who participated in the game, I think we all feel that way”, Belichick said.
