After a tough 33–26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had no time for opposing wide receiver Adam Thielen, the player who scored what proved to be the game-winning touchdown for Minnesota midway through the fourth quarter.
As the two teams walked to midfield to shake hands, Thielen attempted to shake the legendary coach’s hand and give him a pat on the back. While the game in Minnesota was indoors, the shoulder he got in return looked awfully cold.
It’s no surprise to see Belichick brusque after a tough loss that puts the Patriots into serious uncertainty in the playoff race.
