The North Carolina Tar Heels opened their first game under Bill Belichick with a bang—a touchdown on the opening drive—but the fun did not last long. In fact, things went downhill pretty quickly after that.

In the end, the Tar Heels were completely outplayed by the TCU Horned Frogs, who closed things out with a lopsided 48–14 victory.

Naturally, fans were quick to make plenty of jokes about the anticlimactic contest online, many of which called on former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to rectify the situation. Take a look at that below:
