Bill Belichick delivered the most petulant challenge flag throw right in front of a referee

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).
