It was only a matter until a player blamed last night’s thick fog in Gillette Stadium on Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.
After New England crushed Atlanta last night, Falcon’s star wide receiver Julio Jones complained that the Pats produced the fog by shooting off fireworks in the end zone.
Julio Jones just blamed fog on Patriots shooting off fireworks after TDs.
Didn’t use it as excuse but said, “how can you throw deep balls?”

It didn’t affect me, but it’s crazy though, like, they score and they shoot fireworks off and then it sits high, kind of in the stadium,” Jones told CBS Boston. “So it’s kind of hard, like, if you do get behind, like how can you throw deep balls and things like that, because it’s foggy? I mean, it didn’t affect us at all though. They were just the better team tonight.”
Julio clearly skipped out of science class in high school and doesn’t understand how fogs work.
