Bill Belichick not concerned about facing old side

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has insisted that he is not focusing on the past when he comes up against his old side the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Belichick said that he remembers his time in Cleveland fondly but that his current team need to be wary of the threats that they now pose.

"I definitely remember what some of my experiences were that year," he told the Patriots' official website. "But as it relates to the Browns right now, we really can't be too concerned about that.

"We have a job to do here. They're a good football team. They have a lot of good players and they work hard and they've improved a lot. I don't want to get caught up in all that."

Belichick has been Patriots coach since 2000.
