At first glance on television replays, it appeared pretty clearly that Knox got both feet down with possession. Despite that, Belichick still tossed his red flag anyway and wound up losing the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The Bills would go onto to score and take a 31-9 lead when quarterback Josh Allen found wide receiver Stephon Diggs for his second of three touchdown receptions on the night.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after the catch was confirmed, ESPN cameras caught Belichick immediately tossing a sideline phone in disgust, summing up the disappointing season in one moment.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bill Belichick has had ENOUGH.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLBrasil?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NFLBrasil<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jS4KqBE9To\">pic.twitter.com\/jS4KqBE9To<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1343753771419983873?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 29, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoever suggested to Coach Belichick that he might want to challenge that got an earful,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boston.com\/sports\/new-england-patriots\/2020\/12\/28\/bill-belichick-throws-phone-tablet-video?s_campaign=bcom%3Asocialflow%3Atwitter\">said<\/a> Steve Levy on the ESPN broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Belichick briefly discussed the decision to challenge, but avoided commenting on his reaction.
