Tom Brady’s return to New England with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — which his squad won 19-17 — was the gift that kept on giving.
There was the awkward post-game hug with Bill Belichick, the reaction from fans, the way the Patriots casually recognized Brady breaking the passing yards record … and then there’s Steve Belichick’s face.
Belichick — the son of the Pats’ legendary head coach and the team’s outside linebackers coach — was caught on camera making a face at something happening on the field, and it immediately became a meme.
So here’s a roundup of how Twitter reacted to his waving tongue and wincing:
