Bill Belichick went full Sith Lord before Thursday night’s game against the New York Giants.
That’s fitting, as the New England Patriots head coach is somewhat of a supervillain to the rest of the NFL.
Belichick checked out the Gillette Stadium turf hours before kickoff, likely due to the once-daunting forecast. “The Hoodie” was hoods-up during the walk, and the results had Belichick looking like Emperor Palpatine from “Star Wars.”
Take a look:
Don't usually see Bill Belichick checking out the field at home pregame. Today's forecast may have brought him out 👀 ⛈️ 🌀 #Patriots pic.twitter.com/0IKqBYiTrR

Believe it or not, there’s a warm, fuzzy guy underneath that grumpy exterior.
