NFL fans lost it after Bill Belichick gave a classically snarky answer about his New Year’s resolution
Bill Belichick was not feeling any lingering holiday warmth following the New England Patriots’ 33-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 16 on Sunday.
He and the Patriots lost control of the AFC East, with Buffalo likely to finish at No. 1 in the division. So when Belichick faced a kind-spirited question about his New Year’s resolution, the Patriots typically-grumpy coach exercised all his remaining patience to table the question for next week.
NFL fans and media members absolutely lost it after seeing Belichick’s reaction to the question. There were many, many jokes on Twitter. Here’s a look at the best of them.
