Six-time Super Bowl champion coach Bill Belichick says the NFL should allow coaches to challenge non-calls.

In an interview with Bill Cowher and Phil Simms of CBS Sports, the New England Patriots head coach said he'd like to see more opportunities for coaches to challenge referee's decisions. 

"The New Orleans play," asked Cowher, "would you make that subject...to review?" 

"If the coach had an opportunity, he could review any play," Belichick answered.

Belichick said he doesn't think the coach should have more challenges, but a coach should be allowed to challenge more aspects of the game.

"To me, if you see a play that's just a bad play, that's just a missed call, I think as a coach you should be able to challenge that," he said.
