Measurement stuff
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was not pleased with referee Gene Steratore because he felt a measurement should have granted prior to the Patriots' fourth-down attempt. This is the second time that has happened this preseason, where Belichick was seeking a measurement, didn't get it, and the team had to call a timeout. It also happened in the preseason opener at Tampa Bay with referee Walt Coleman. While it was clear the Patriots didn't have a first down, Belichick probably wanted to see how far the team had to go when deciding whether to go for it.
Tonight, he had a brief discussion with Steratore before he was granted the measurement.
