Cameras Caught Bill Belichick Angrily Spiking His Tablet In Final Minutes of Another Ugly Patriots Loss

The Patriots fell to 1-5 on the year after a disappointing defeat against the Raiders in Week 6, and it seems Bill Belichick’s frustrations are mounting with each passing loss. 

Late into Sunday’s game against Las Vegas, Belichick could be seen complaining to an official before turning and spiking his tablet into the ground after a holding call went against New England.

Just prior to the two-minute warning, running back Rhamondre Stevenson had a five-yard, first-down run erased by a holding penalty against Atonio Mafi. Rather than receive a new set of downs, the Patriots were tasked with second-and-11.

Belichick was irate, seemingly both with the holding call and his own team’s performance. 

Unfortunately for Belichick, things only got worse after the holding penalty.

On the following play, Davante Parker dropped a deep pass from Mac Jones, which was arguably the best ball thrown by the 25-year-old all night. New England was then penalized for a delay of game, after which Maxx Crosby sacked Mac Jones in the end zone to record a game-sealing safety, capping off a 21-19 loss for the Patriots.
