In the midst of these discussions, a clip surfaced during the game against the Dolphins. It captured Belichick on the sidelines, holding a flag during the third quarter. At this point, the only points on the board for the Pats came from Chad Ryland’s 49-yard field goal, with the score at 17-3.
A referee was seen pulling a red cord, prompting Belichick to take a step back, which the latter did. However, the referee inadvertently continued to pull the cord towards Belichick’s legs, visibly frustrating the head coach, who reacted by hurling the red flag to the ground.
