Bill Belichick’s former students have been the Patriots’ kryptonite in 2018

How are things going for Bill Belichick this season when he coaches against someone who formerly worked under him as either a player or a coach?

Not too great. He’s done it three times now in 2018, and two of those coaches have beaten his New England Patriots.

The most recent example came on Sunday, when the Patriots were obliterated 34-10 in a shocking blowout defeat by the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The head coach of the Titans is Mike Vrabel, a former player and Super Bowl winner under Belichick as a member of the Patriots.
