Video: Bill Belichick Yells “Shut The F*ck Up” Right To The Face Of Vikings WR Adam Thielen
Bill Belichick didn’t pull any punches with Minnesota Vikings WR Adam Thielen after a controversial play where the Patriots appeared to shut down the Vikings 4th down attempt.
The epic moment occurred in a key situation in the 4th quarter during the Patriots vs Vikings game. New England tried to challenge a 4th down conversion run by Minnesota. Bill Belichick had some extra time to decide to challenge as there was a player injured on the field and he finally tossed the challenge flag. This drew the ire of Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen, who was close by barking at officials near the Patriots sideline. Thielen and Belichick exchanged looks, and then Thielen said something that Belichick didn’t like. At that point you can easily read Belichick’s lips as he told Thielen to “shut the f*** up.”
Things never end well for opposing players when they challenge Belichick.

From the lip-reading department:
Adam Thielen (yelling in referee's direction, close to Bill Belichick, after Belichick threw challenge flag but had extra time ase Patrick Chung was injured): "That's bull—"
Bill Belichick (looking in Thielen's direction): "Shut the f— up."
