The Patriots dismissed as "flat-out inaccurate" a report suggesting a rift involving owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady on Friday. Also mentioned is a supposed difference between Kraft and Belichick over the decision to trade backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The story implied Brady has taken issue with a lack of praise from Belichick this season. Brady and Belichick both eschewed questions last month about a chasm between and Belichick and Guerrero. Brady threw just two interceptions in 2016 and had a passer rating below 89 only once.
