Is McDermott the Only Coach to Beat Belichick Three Straight Games?

[K-9]

Going into the windy snow game last season at Highmark, I recall a talking head saying McDermott had a chance to be the only coach to beat Belichick three consecutive times. Was that still a thing heading into tonight? Because McD accomplished that tonight. And if not for that freak snowy wind storm loss, McDermott would be sitting at six straight at the moment. Not bad.

Looks like Denver (Mike Shanahan) beat him early on 3 times in a row. Checking for others.

I’m sure some AFC Central coach beat him 3 in a row while he was in Cleveland.

No need to apologize as I never made the assertion in the first place. Whoever the talking head was that said that last year didn’t do his homework. 
 

But thanks for taking the time to do that research. Much appreciated.

No problem, I was curious to know too. 3 game streak. Next year extend it to the record 5 cause this pats team isnt going to the playoffs.

I believe McDermott will have the most consecutive wins against the cheater than anyone else. By the way, The Cheatriots will also be our B word for the next 15 years.

Life is good Bills fans. We need to road trip games to NE like they've done to us for 20 years. LFG!

Maybe they meant for the Bills, like it was the first time the Bills had done it?

Pretty sure the talking head said 3 times in a row in foxboro

Could be. Thanks.

I don’t know, but that is a huge accomplishment

[Dan Darragh]

Coughlin gets the prize.  Two of those three were Superbowls.

[buffalostu2]

Highlighting 5 out of 6 in the post is worth it.  How many of us thought that was possible 4-5 years ago?

[John from Riverside]

This cannot be possible. I read right here on this site that McDermott is a horrible coach.

I  can't quite tell if you feel Bill Belicheck is overrated and only had success because of Brady....you hide it well.

Still one more game to go this season. While you are at it, pre-mptively dig up coaches who have beaten BB 4 times in a row (cos I am too lazy to do it myself) 😁

Haha, yes i somehow it slipped my mind we play them again with only 5 games left. Anything greater than 2 I grabbed so that is all of them.
