Bill Belichick Ties NFL History with Most Regular-Season Losses, Sets Sights on All-Time Record

Foxborough, Massachusetts – Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots, now holds the record for the most regular-season losses in NFL history. The Patriots’ recent defeat against the New York Jets marked Belichick’s 165th regular-season loss, tying him with Dan Reeves and Jeff Fisher. With a total of 178 losses in his coaching career, including postseason games, Belichick now shares the same record with Tom Landry.

Despite these losses, Belichick still ranks third for the most regular-season wins in NFL history. With 302 regular-season victories under his belt, he falls behind Don Shula (328) and George Halas (318). However, when postseason wins are taken into account, Belichick moves into second place, surpassing Halas with a total of 333 wins, although Shula still holds the top spot with 347 wins.

At 71 years of age, it is uncertain whether Belichick will have the opportunity to surpass Shula’s impressive record. However, if he continues coaching for another season, he will claim the title of the head coach with the most losses in NFL history.

In summary, Bill Belichick, the iconic head coach of the New England Patriots, has now tied the record for the most regular-season losses in NFL history, sharing this distinction with Dan Reeves and Jeff Fisher. Despite this, Belichick remains a formidable presence in the league, securing a place among the top three for the most regular-season wins. As he continues his coaching career, the question remains whether he will be able to surpass Don Shula’s all-time wins record.
