Social media detectives pointed out something awfully interesting about New England Patriots head coach during the club’s Week 18 game against the New York Jets.

On Sunday, the Jets snapped a 15-game losing streak against their longtime rivals by cruising to a 17-3 victory. With the loss, the Patriots finished 4-13 for their worst finish since the 1992 squad that went 2-14.

But as noted by Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer and several other heads-up observers, the Patriots’ sloppy loss may have just been another product of Belichick outsmarting everybody else:

Bill Belichick ending his 24-year run as Patriots coach by knocking the Jets down in the draft order, and costing them the tackle they need, might actually be just the way he would've drawn it up.

Jets gifted the Pats Belichick, and now they've gifted them a top draft pick in what may be Bill's last game as the Pats HC.

It all came full circle 🔮
