Those cheating New England Patriots are at it again.
The Tennessee Titans’ quest to upset the Patriots in their AFC Divisional matchup got off to rough start Friday afternoon. That’s because the team’s plane was delayed in Nashville for roughly three hours after another plane slid off a runway, according to Titans beat reporter Paul Kuharsky.
Here’s how it all went down:
The #Titans have been sitting in their plane on the tarmac in Nashville for over two hours. Not good, especially for the big guys with bad backs. #Patriots.

#Titans just took off from Nashville after delay of about three hours.

A plane that slid off the run way in Nashville was part of the #Titans delay. Their original departure time was moved up and they still got postponed.

Well, that doesn’t sound like much fun.
And while some Patriots fans surely will say the Titans should get their own two planes, like the Pats did, the fact is the situation was unavoidable.
As you might expect, the Titans’ predicament caused many to poke fun at the Pats.

@jmartell21 @kebuddle Belichick dialed up his weather machine to create the delay. I also hear the Gatorade in the visitor's locker room is boiling as we speak

Sigh.
Some things will never change.
