SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

“We’re on to Cincinnati.” Earlier this week, in the ultra-testy press conference after the New England Patriots got trounced by the Kansas City Chiefs, Patriots coach Bill Belichick batted away a series of questions by reporters with variations on the same don’t-want-to-talk-about-that-awful-game answer. “We’re on to Cincinnati.” “We’re on to Cincinnati.” “It’s nothing about the past, nothing about the future. Right now we’re preparing for Cincinnati.” Well, setting aside the observation that Cincinnati, the team the Patriot faces tonight, is about the future, the “on to Cincinnati” matchup finally has arrived. The Patriots are 2-2 after the loss to the Chiefs, putting the team in a three-way tie for first in the AFC East with the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills – while the Cincinnati Bengals, rested after a bye week, are undefeated at 3-0. Whatever happens on the field, the next Belichick postgame press conference should prove very, very interesting.
