Strange sequence, for sure. Clock clearly ran to "0". Then they put 2 seconds on, then 1. But the clock did run to 0 and that's when Belichek and Coughlin ran out on the field. Carey can be seen telling Belichek there is still time left and Belichek appears to brush him off. At least Belichek appeared to give a sincere "congrats" to Coughlin. As strange as the whole sequence was, it would've been arguably stranger if the coaches had to go through it twice. I think it would've been better if, after the false strat on the hand shakes, he simply watched the final 2 seconds from the sideline and then ran away.
Of course, the irony here (IMO) was that Randy Moss stuck around for the final seconds!
In Belichek's postgame interview ... did anyone else get the feeling Belichek was this close to crying?
