The New England Patriots earned their first playoff win since the 2018 NFL playoffs with a 16-3 wild-card victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, but they didn't come out of it completely unscathed.

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel left his team’s 16-3 wild-card playoff victory over the Los Angeles Chargers with his face literally bloodied, but an unshaken confidence in his team.

Alas, it was an awkward half-hug, half-nelson between these two very big men, resulting in the player’s helmet smashing into the coach’s mouth.
