The Patriots beat the Browns 38-15 on Sunday, with Bailey Zappe again showing he might be the quarterback of the future with another stellar performance.
Days before that game, however, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Dr. Dana Blumberg were married in New York City. While numerous Patriots greats from past and present were in attendance, Bill Belichick was nowhere to be found.
Asked about the matter, Belichick said he’d spoken to Kraft beforehand.
“Robert and I talked about it a couple of times. I was planning to go, but in the end, it was just too much at the end of the week,” said Belichick to “The Greg Hill Show” during his Monday WEEI interview. “We both decided the best thing for me to do was to try to get ready to beat Cleveland. We’ll celebrate at another time.
“I was very happy for Robert and Dana, and I heard it was a really special night,” said Belichick. “Sorry I missed it, but I know it was a great night for him, very happy for him.”
Belichick gifted Kraft a win on Sunday after the Patriots thumped the Browns in Cleveland and gave the team a respectable record.
New England, now 3-3 on the season, will face the Bears next Monday in Week 7.

Aside from their record, there may be a QB controversy brewing between Mac Jones and rookie Bailey Zappe, with one report alleging that Jones’ relationship with the Patriots has gone “a little sideways.”
It’s a good problem to have since Zappe is playing so well behind center while Mac Jones continues to recover from his injury. Unfortunately for him, he might not have a starting job to come back to when he returns.
