The New England Patriots’ slim playoff hopes took a big hit Thursday night with their 24-3 loss to the Rams in Los Angeles, a crushing loss that came just a few days after they looked so good in a blowout win over the Chargers in the very same building.
The Patriots now have seven losses for the first time since 2002, which is crazy, and are on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008 – the year Tom Brady tore his ACL in Week 1 and missed the rest of the season.
While things were pretty bad for the Patriots on Thursday night, fans watching the game had some fun with Bill Belichick and a hole in his mask/face covering thing.
Belichick has been wearing double masks since earlier this season so he has been smart about it but while making some adjustments on the sideline we saw this:

Again, he was wearing two face coverings so he was all good:

But that clip with the hole in his face covering had fans making jokes:

I just saw Bill Belichick with his mask off. As he put on the black mask there was a hole cut in it for the mouth. He wears a mask over that one but come on. Even he can find a way to cheat the mask rule. #NFL pic.twitter.com/apmjl0vGf6
