It wasn&#8217;t a dominant offensive performance, but it was a much more disciplined team when it mattered.<\/p>\n<p data-mrf-recirculation=\"Links P\u00e1rrafos\" class=\"ue-c-article__paragraph paragraph\"><strong>Belichick now gets a week off before North Carolina returns home to face East Tennessee State on Sept. <\/strong>12 at Kenan Stadium.
