Earlier this season in a game against the Jets, Bill Belichick admitted that he intentionally took several delay of game penalties to eat up the clock.

Bill Belichick says he was just trying to “run a bit of time off the clock” late in the 4th quarter against the Jets when the camera cut to him smirking.

Unfortunately for Belichick, Titans head coach Mike Vrabel used that same loophole against him in the fourth quarter of the Pats-Titans playoff game to kill a ton of clock and Belichick was not happy about it.

Bill Belichick “That’s fucking bullshit” after Mike Vrabel gives him a taste of his own medicine https://t.co/HmB6pJ26j6

Vrabel using the move Belichick invented (stealing a minute off the clock with penalties before a punt outside of 5 minutes left) is an excellent additional story line in this game.

Belichick furious about Vrabel exploiting the same five-minute rule he exploited during the regular season

Vrabel pulled a Belichick and BB called it bullshit.

Mike Vrabel just did exactly what Belichick did against the Jets with the intentional penalty to run more clock. Wild. pic.twitter.com/zlsBgQEU9b
