After the New England Pats were humiliated by the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round of the playoffs, Bill Belichick said he wants to coach in 2022.

Marv Levy was the former Bills coach who said he didn't plan to coach into his 70s. He later made some changes to his remarks.

He said that it would be accurate if he said he wants to return next season.

After the team's return home from New York, the coach held a 30-minute video conference in which he reflected on the team's 10-8 season. He noted that the loss was troubling and said he would take a longer view.

He said that last night's game was the least competitive game they played. Is that what we are? Is that a bad night? We'll see when we play again next year.

The Bills scored on their first seven drives of the game, becoming the first team to do so in a playoff game.

The season was marked by the "ups and downs" of the team, which included a 4-2 start and a seven-game winning streak before they lost three of their final four games.

I'm not trying to downplay the importance of last night's game, but I think we need to look at how we can do a better job in the other 17 games that we have left. "That will be a thorough process, as it always is."

In a public statement, he thanked his players, coaches and support staff for their work.

Mac helped us a lot, according to the coach. I'm looking forward to working with him next year.

The only head coach in the history of the NFL to win six Super Bowl titles is Bill Belichick. He is third on the career wins list for head coaches.
