Patriots News: Patriots are so bad Amazon used Bill Belichick instead of player in TNF preview

The New England Patriots got flexed out of their prime-time Monday Night Football game against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 18, but a week before that game, they’re still locked in for a Thursday Night Football clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. When previewing the game on Thursday, during the Seattle Seahawks and Dallas Cowboys game, an interesting graphic went up on Amazon Prime Video. Former NFL Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt was used as the player graphic for the Steelers, while a picture of coach Bill Belichick was used for the Patriots. There clearly aren’t many players that could be classified as superstars on the Patriots’ roster. Matthew Judon would have been perfect for the picture, if he was healthy. There are other healthy players that would have been worthy of a snapshot, like Jabrill Peppers, Christian Barmore, Rhamondre Stevenson, Matthew Slater, Kyle Dugger or Ja’Whaun Bentley. But Amazon went with Belichick, and it had all of social media pointing and laughing once again at the expense of the 2-9 Patriots. Imagine losing a prime-time spot against the Chiefs and this happening all in the same day. Yikes.
