VIDEO: Bill Belichick All but Officially Takes Shot at Lane Johnson With Postgame Comments
Bill Belichick, you sly, sly dog. Did the legendary coach really think we wouldn't catch this? After the Patriots took down the Eagles on Sunday, it sure seemed like good ol' Bill went ahead and trolled Eagles lineman Lane Johnson, who has famously called out the Patriots in the past for being a no-fun kind of team. You be the judge:

“It looked like everyone had fun out there today and we played a lot of good energy," Belichick said following Sunday night's win over Philadelphia.
A lot of fun, you say? Oh yeah, Belichick 100% knew what he was doing here and sure stuck it to Johnson. Unfortunately for the Pro Bowl offensive tackle, he was forced out of the game early due to a head injury and couldn't help his unit protect Carson Wentz, who ultimately had a night to forget.
A big night on special teams plus another strong defensive performance leads #Patriots to victory.

As for the Patriots, they were able to eke out a heart-stopping 17-10 victory at Lincoln Financial Field, with Belichick deliving the last blow after the final whistle to boot.
