Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola didn't hide his frustration Sunday afternoon after the New England Patriots scored a late touchdown to take a 34-9 lead,
Raiola admitted to reporters after the game that he tried to cut-block Patriots defensive tackle Zach Moore in retaliation for the touchdown - a play the NFL reportedly plans to review.
Adding insult to injury, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick had some harsh words for Raiola when asked about the block.
"Sure there was a lot of frustration there with Raiola," Belichick said, according to Tom E. Curran of CSNNE.com. "He's never beaten us. Tough day for him."
Belichick's right - Raiola has never defeated New England. The Lions are 0-4 against the Patriots since drafting Raiola in 2001.
