Bill O’Brien finally got a win against his mentor Bill Belichick but it didn’t seem like Belichick was interested in congratulating his former assistant coach.
A big, statement win by the #Texans… and Bill O’Brien’s first over one of his mentors, #Patriots coach Bill Belichick. Slight crawl to the finish, but a W nonetheless.

After the Texans beat the Pats on ‘Sunday Night Football, O’Brien had to chase down Belichick who gave the Texans head coach a brief ice cold handshake.
Is Bill O’Brien out of the circle? 🥶 pic.twitter.com/mkwK59Of0P

That was Mangini-esque. One of the big no-nos of the Belichick football syndicate is that when you leave Foxborough you don’t turn around and take from The Godfather. Bill O’Brien tried to take Nick Caserio to be Houston’s GM, twice. https://t.co/hnqFoHJvfv

This handshake exchange that Bill O’Brien had with Bill Belichick should make every #Texans fan like Bill O’Brien even more.
Ice cold. https://t.co/rOvEwIYazI

Good thing the Patriots don't lose much. They are awful at it.
Bill Belichick's handshake with Bill O'Brien tonight was unprofessional at best.

There's no way around it, Bill Belichick is the biggest d-bag in sports. Way to try to blow off your former coach. Not sure what was worse, the dead fish handshake or the total avoiding of looking in the eyes of the guy that beat you. #Classless

Belichick just gave BOB the "Eric Mangini just beat me at my house" handshake.

This still photo shows the amount of time Belichick spent on the handshake. It was like one frame of film https://t.co/RWDGPWNqrC

Doesn’t look like Belichick was trying to give his form student a handshake. https://t.co/eESEOFkztz
