Bill Belichick is not sugar-coating the reality that Sunday's game is a win-or-go-home situation.

“We all understand that it’s a one-game season,” he said. “However many plays there are (in the game), that’s how many are left. And if they’re not good ones, that’ll be it. If they’re good ones then you get another opportunity. If it's not good enough this week then the season is over.

"The season is going to end for somebody this week," he said. "So that’s the way it is. It’s not trying to put any pressure on the young guys. That’s the way it is.”
