NFL Fans Roasted Bill Belichick, Patriots Over Embarrassing ‘TNF’ Promo

The Patriots will be in prime time in Week 14, set to take on the Steelers in a battle at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Thursday Night Football. 

Prime Video took the opportunity to promote New England’s upcoming clash by displaying a graphic during the broadcast of the Cowboys-Seahawks’ tilt on Thursday night. 

Amazon’s graphic featured star edge-rusher T.J. Watt standing in front of a Steelers’ logo. But rather than display a Patriots player opposite Watt, the graphic depicted coach Bill Belichick on New England’s side.

With some uncertainty surrounding the Patriots’ quarterback position, with Bailey Zappe potentially set to start over Mac Jones, it seems the graphic department wasn’t clear on who the face of the team is. They comically opted to settle for the franchise’s longtime head coach. 

Fans on social media got a kick out of the graphic, and they had plenty of jokes on X.
