In answering this question, I reviewed the Bill Belichick years (2000-present), as conventional wisdom says "Bill Belichick never loses to the same team twice in a season".
However conventional wisdom is incorrect. The Patriots have lost to the same opponent twice in a season multiple times since Belichick became the head coach in 2000.
2012 - lost twice to the Baltimore Ravens, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game
2011 - lost twice to the New York Giants, 1 regular season game & the Super Bowl
2010 - lost twice to the New York Jets, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game
2006 - lost twice to the Indianapolis Colts, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game
2005 - lost twice to the Denver Broncos, 1 regular season game, 1 playoff game
2000 - lost both regular season games to the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins
As indicated, this list includes only the Belichick years. If a further analysis is needed it can be provided.
