One word perfectly sums up this season for the New England Patriots: frustrating.
And on Sunday as the Patriots fell to the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Bill Belichick let his anger show.
Cornerback J.C. Jackson was flagged for a defensive pass interference penalty late in the fourth quarter, which provided the Raiders with a crucial first down rather than forcing them to punt the ball.
And Belichick was seen arguing with the official following the call, clearly not agreeing with the penalty. And he even threw his tablet to the ground in anger afterwards. You can watch the incident here.
Jackson was also upset over the call, telling NESN's Dakota Randall after the game that, “It was bulls***, man. It was bulls***.”
While the defense was still able to hold them after the penalty, it was once again the offense who couldn't deliver. Devante Parker dropped a perfectly placed ball by Mac Jones and moments later, Maxx Crosby brought Mac Jones down in the end zone resulting in a safety that solidified the win for the Raiders
And when asked about the penalty on Monday morning, Belichick didn't provide much insight into what happened.
"Yeah, I mean the calls are the calls. This group calls a lot of penalties," Belichick told reporters. "That's out of our control."
Belichick's reactions have been something else this season, with the head coach also going viral after throwing the challenge flag right in the officials face during the Patriots loss to the Dolphins in Week 2.
Belichick has every right to be frustrated with the way the season has gone, and his reactions are certainly something else.
