New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick has a reputation as a control freak but one wouldn't expect it to extend to the players eating regimen.

According to TMZ.com the team has been on serious lockdown this week when it came to meals.  The players had to eat what was put on the table.

Sources say team cooks came to the hotel and prepared the food. Dinner last night was a choice of chicken, steak or fish ... with a side of vegetables.
