In the tumultuous final minutes of the fourth quarter, and then through an entire 15-minute overtime session at Wembley Stadium the one man whose job it was to keep the Cincinnati Bengals on time, on schedule, sweated not. The breaths are easier when the plane home can’t leave without you, but it would seem nothing could throw a bigger wrench into the carefully laid plans than the first overtime game (and tie) in International Series history.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick views his players as commodities. That can often create an icy-cold vibe around everything that goes in Foxborough, Massachusetts, but in principle, he's not wrong.
