ESPN started off the Monday Night Football matchup between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills with a bang.
New England entered the game with a 6-8 record and the Bills sat at 11-3. Because of the unfamiliar situation at hand, an ESPN crew put together a graphic that detailed the success of Tom Brady and the downfall of Bill Belichick. It featured Belichick as a character from the Christmas movie ‘Love Actually’ and Brady reads the records that have been snapped since he left the team.
NFL fans went to Twitter to react to the graphic and a majority of them weren’t the biggest supporters — but some loved it.

The fact that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady would HATE this is the absolutely only redeeming fact of this utter and complete misuse of graphic technology. https://t.co/3ChTOUPzwt
