NFL Fans Had Lots of Reactions to Mike Vrabel Watching Bills-Patriots Game With Robert Kraft

The Titans’ head coach had a good reason to be in New England during his team’s bye week, but this did seem awkward.

Mike Vrabel spent his weekend in New England, where he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Saturday and then watched his former team’s game against the Bills on Sunday while sitting in Robert Kraft’s luxury box. 

While that’s a nice little weekend for Vrabel, it's also a little weird. Why? Because he’s the head coach of the Titans, duh. While Tennessee is on its bye week, seeing Vrabel hanging out with a different team’s owner was bit odd/awkward for some fans on social media. 

Vrabel also spoke to the crowd during a halftime ceremony and seemed to be cheering on the Patriots with this joke: 

Vrabel jokes that “we” have a game to win today. Wonder how the Titans owner feels about all of this pic.twitter.com/41N6gxwHAJ

CBS showed Vrabel sitting with Kraft: 

I wonder if an NFL head coach has ever spent his bye week in an opposing owner's suite before.
