New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has admitted that he is pleased with the way his side are progressing this season.

The Patriots moved to 3-0 in their NFL campaign with a 23-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Gillette Stadium.

Belichick told reporters: "It was good to win yesterday. I thought our team did a good job and I felt like we improved in all three phases of the game and a lot of things individually.

"Hopefully we can just keep working hard, just keep practicing well, keep grinding away and continue to show improvement on a week-to-week basis. That's what we really need to do at this point in the season."

Belichick's side face the Atlanta Falcons in week four.
