With time winding down in the 2024 Pinstripe Bowl, Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola took a late slide on first down and was hit by Boston College defensive back Carter Davis.

The referees threw a flag for a late hit—and Eagles head coach Bill O'Brien was not happy. Take a look at the reaction:

Prior to O'Brien's blowup, Raiola got in the face of Davis—sparking a dustup and both teams having to be separated by the officials.

During O'Brien's time as offensive coordinator of the Patriots, he earned the nickname "Teapot" from Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer for how we would boil over at the quarterbacks in practice. He apparently has the ability to boil over at referees as well.

The Eagles eventually lost the Yankee Stadium-hosted Pinstripe Bowl 20–15 to the Cornhuskers, finishing O'Brien's first season at the helm in Boston with a 7–6 record.
