Oh, Bill Belichick. Never change.
During the New England Patriots’ 24-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night that was nearly kept alive by a lateral to a lineman, Belichick wanted to challenge the spot of the football on one drive. An official was nearby, and Belichick decided to stare him down. Then? He chose to throw his red challenge flag down emphatically, like a petulant child.
It was hilarious and will hopefully become a meme quickly. There were plenty of laughs from the NBC booth of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth — “That’s beautiful!” — and from around Twitter (X).
Enjoy:
Bill was disgusted 😭😂

"Shaq would have been proud of that dunk," Cris Collinsworth.
"The disgusted challenge flag thrown by Bill," Mike Tirico.
Bill Belichick was not happy to have to challenge this spot. He lost the challenge but the Pats picked up the first down. pic.twitter.com/pZThxVX0z5
