It was a long Sunday for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots in Week 4, made even longer by the coach’s curious decision to kick a field goal down 35 points in the final quarter.
The Pats were outplayed in all phases vs. the Cowboys on the heels of what would’ve been Belichick’s 300th career win
Instead the New England HC was mocked on social media for his team’s late kick attempt:
“When Bill Belichick’s sad field goal attempt misses:” said Bryan Fischer.

“38-3 Cowboys, 4 minutes to go, and Belichick just sent the field goal team out for 3 points. They’re at 41 combined points. The over/under was 43. … They missed the kick,” another tweeted.
