As my colleague Blair Kerkhoff noted, this wouldn’t have gone over well had it happened in Kansas City.
After the Patriots’ 36-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England coach Bill Belichick was not excited at the prospect of holding the Lamar Hunt trophy, which is given to the AFC champion.
Take a look at this video from Jason Schwartz:

I wasn’t the only one who noticed the lack of enthusiasm that Belichick had for the trophy. Take a look:
"Oh wow, another paperweight. Thanks. Can I go now? I'm trying to win a trophy in 2 weeks." -Bill Bellichick @FeitsBarstool @stoolpresidente pic.twitter.com/Dp6K5GH0Ju

Belichick looked at that AFC Championship trophy like I look at my little league baseball participation trophies.

Let's talk about how Belichick is holding the trophy like a rented textbook because it doesn't matter

Bill Belichick reluctantly grabs the conference championship trophy and treats it with utter disdain.
