Patriots HC Bill Belichick gets soaked to celebrate coaching milestone

After becoming the second-most winning coach in NFL history with the New England Patriots' 22-17 win over the New York Jets, coach Bill Belichick got quite the welcome downpour from a few of his New England Players. 

Belichick, one of the best ever to coach in the NFL, has plenty of reasons to be happy after his Pats rebounded against a resurgent Jets team on the road. 

In fact, the longtime New England coach got the game ball after Sunday's win but quickly deflected the credit to his players.

The 4-4 Patriots aren't going to be able to enjoy this one for long in a suddenly stout AFC East, but beating the Jets can be something the team builds on as the season rolls on. 

At the least, Belichick can rest assured that his locker room has his back, or at the very least, has water bottles at the ready for more wins.
