Until Sunday night's 31-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the New England Patriots seemed to reside on a different planet than the rest of the NFL, and they were -- and still are -- light years removed from the Ravens. But Patriots coach Bill Belichick addressed some issues regarding the Ravens at his news conference today in Foxboro, Mass. Here are a couple of snippets from what Belichick said.

On whether he expects teams such as the Ravens to play the Patriots with similar schemes as the ones used by the Eagles:

"I don’t know, you’d have to talk to those teams. I don’t know what they’re going to do. All I know is what we’re going to try to do, and that’s prepare for Baltimore, study them, get to know them. It’s a team we haven’t played in awhile. Learn their personnel, learn their schemes and be ready to play down there Monday night. What they’re going to do, you’d have to talk to them.

On Belichick's apparent nonchalance about winning the division already:

"We’re happy to win. I said that last night. That’s one of our goals. We won it, and we’re happy that we won it. You’d certainly rather win it than not win it, you know? But right now that’s done. It’s over with, so we’re going to go play Baltimore. That’s the next step. That’s what we do next, so we’ll get ready for that and we’ll go do it."

On how he will look at the Ravens' 4-7 record and their five-game losing streak:

"Records don’t mean anything. Records don’t mean anything. The only thing that matters on Monday night is how well they play and how well we play. That’ll determine who wins that game. Not who won last week’s game or the week before or what anybody’s records were. You want to go back to the Miami game from ’04? We’re 12-1, they’re 2-11. The records don’t mean anything. The only thing that matters is how you play. And coach."
