The team did not have a walk-through, as promised, instead spending a fun hour with family, interrupted only by a brief team photograph session.

"This is what we usually do," said coach Bill Belichick, who patiently posed for photographs with players and their families dressed in his signature grey sweatshirt with cut down sleeves along with a white visor.

"The first year was a little different because of the short week. It was just a one-week Super Bowl. The last three, it's been good. It gives the families a fun day."

Belichick said every player was present and accounted for today. He was asked for a final thought on the game.
