New England Patriots legendary head coach Bill Belichick returned to sideline, but not at the NFL level. He opted to make the jump to college football and become the North Carolina Tar Heels' new head football coach.

1987 — Denver’s John Elway leads the Broncos to a 23-20 overtime victory over the Cleveland Browns to win the AFC Championship. Elway caps a 15-play, 98-yard march with a 5-yard TD pass to Mark Jackson to tie the game with 37 seconds remaining. Rich Karlis kicks a 33-yard field goal in overtime to give Denver the win.

The long-time Patriots coach said that it was Robert Kraft’s decision to oust his successor, but once again pointed to a Jonathan Kraft and Robyn Glaser having the owner’s ear. Belichick then added that he believed a “shared vision” was key to his success in New England, but said it evaporated during his final four seasons.
