FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Patriots defensive coordinator Dean
Pees says Bill Belichick seems unaffected by the criticism stemming
from his fourth-down decision on Sunday night.

Pees said Tuesday it's been business as usual since then and he
doesn't see Belichick in a different light.

New England's head coach was criticized for going for it rather
than punting on fourth-and-2 with just over two minutes left
against Indianapolis. The Patriots fell a yard short, and the Colts
took over on the New England 29-yard line.

Peyton Manning directed them to a touchdown with 13 seconds
left, and Matt Stover's extra point gave the Colts a 35-34 win.
