Bill Belichick usually always starts his usual Wednesday press conference with an opening statement regarding the upcoming opponent on a given week. But, on Wednesday, Belichick didn’t just give an opening statement on the Cowboys, he gave a 5:03 break down of why Dallas presents so many problems.

The Patriots offense…
