NFL Fans Loved Bill Belichick's Reaction To ESPN Showing Taylor Swift

Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick didn't seem thrilled with the amount of coverage Taylor Swift was getting during Monday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints.
Swift was shown on TV several times during the first half of the Chiefs-Saints game. That's because Travis Kelce was running all over Dennis Allen's defense. The All-Pro tight end finished Week 5 with nine receptions for 70 yards. It seemed like he was open every single time Patrick Mahomes dropped back to pass.
Belichick, who was on ESPN's "Manningcast" this past Monday, couldn't help but throw a dig at Swift while assessing Kelce's incredible first half.
"Ugh, big first half for Kelce," Belichick said. "Too big... too big."
Eli and Peyton Manning couldn't help but laugh at this remark from Belichick. It was pretty obvious that he was fed up with Swift constantly being show on the screen.
Luckily for Belichick, he's not receiving criticism for this comment. If anything, fans are agreeing with him.
"Oh Bill we are all the same," one person said. "Why I hardly watched last night."
"Peyton and Eli giggling in the background makes this 10x funnier," a second person tweeted.
Another fan wrote, "I've stopped watching the Chiefs because of this absurd side show."
"Welcome to the club Bill," a fourth person commented. "We're tired of it too."

Belichick recently showed support for Swift by wearing a sweatshirt with her name on it. We also can't forget that he attended one of her concerts in Amsterdam this past summer.
At the end of the day, the legendary coach just wants the NFL to focus on its product, not the Grammy Award winner.
Unfortunately for Belichick, it won't be long before Swift is back in the spotlight. On Nov. 4, the Chiefs will be back on "Monday Night Football."
The Chiefs also have a trio of prime-time games scheduled in December. Suffice to say, we'll be seeing a lot more of Taylor Swift in the coming months.
