Bill Belichick’s trusted assistant has disclosed an unbelievable game plan by which the New England Patriots were able to stop the Kansas City Chiefs. The famous researcher of the franchise for which Tom Brady played for 20 long seasons, Ernie Adams, Belichick’s loyal assistant, joined the show Games With Names and revealed the tactics. 

Ernie was asked by Julian Edelman about the tactics and game plan of how they were able to defeat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the 2018 AFC game. All of a sudden, the researcher took out a red notebook from a bag. 

As he held the notebook that left everyone amazed in the room, he said, “This is my Chiefs’ book from 2018. I’ve got every game they played. The Chiefs were big; they’re repeaters; if they’ve done something in a critical situation in the middle of the season, you get in that same critical situation.” 

The 71-year-old further explained how he used to monitor every play, pattern, and tactic. The former football coach and researcher for the Patriots further stated how Belichick told him, “It’s going to be the same play; they might have a different guy; they may have a different formation or a different way of getting there, but it’s going to be this guy here, this guy there, and this guy there right, and that’s typical (strategy) of most good teams.”
