Mike Vrabel takes hilarious shot at official after Patriots' upset win

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't about to let a 29-26 upset of the Buffalo Bills change his opinion of one controversial call.

Vrabel was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct during Sunday's win after giving an official a rather colorful assessment of a defensive holding penalty. Afterward, the Patriots coach admitted he probably could have chosen his words more carefully.

He also couldn't resist getting one more shot in.

Mike Vrabel thinks official was 'a little sensitive'

The controversy started late in the second quarter with Buffalo facing third-and-goal from the New England 16-yard line.

Josh Allen's pass fell incomplete, which appeared to give the Patriots a stop. Instead, cornerback Marcus Jones was called for defensive holding, giving Buffalo an automatic first down.

Vrabel was not impressed.

His reaction earned New England another 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. Referee Bill Vinovich later explained that Vrabel left the coaches' box and told an official it was a "f---ing terrible call."

Vrabel didn't exactly dispute that version of events.

"I've said that 87 times since I've been a head coach," Vrabel told reporters. "There was nothing derogatory. You'd have to ask him. I think he was a little sensitive."
