Bill Belichick is not missing an opportunity to use some bulletin-board material against his former team.
Cleveland Browns receiver Jarvis Landry was asked on Thursday how the team plans to turn things around coming out of their bye. He said that they are going to win.
Stood three feet from Jarvis Landry, who did not guarantee a win over the #Patriots.
He was asked how #Browns will play coming out of the bye and he said, "We're gonna win." New England's team was not mentioned.This has been twisted into a large non-story, story.

Landry’s words have been twisted around, with some saying Landry was saying the Browns were going to beat the Patriots in New England when the teams meet on Sunday. Even if it wasn’t a guarantee, Belichick was happy to share the comments with his team.
According to Tom E. Curran, Belichick shared Landry’s comments to members of the Patriots.
I asked a Patriots player if he’s seen Landry’s comments. His reply, “No, but Bill mentioned it to us.” https://t.co/J8SUyVvpET

Linebacker Kyle Van Noy laughed when asked if Landry’s words would serve as bulletin-board material.

Questions about whether Landry made a guarantee come a week after Eagles head coach Doug Pederson made some headlines for saying something similar.
What do people expect – players and coaches not to have the intent to win games?
