Bill Belichick never forgets.
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick joined Peyton and Eli Manning on the ManningCast for the Monday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints.
During the broadcast, Peyton asked Belichick about the Chiefs crowd noise and how he would simulate it to his players if he was facing them.
Bill Belichick wasted no time as he stated, “The crowd noise there at Arrowhead wasn’t as bad as when you guys piped in music at the RCA dome.”
He even brought up how the music or crowd noise would skip, which is how they figured out it was piped in.
Manning could do nothing but laugh.
Bill Belichick is absolutely amazing 😂😂
He called out the #Colts for pumping in fake crowd noise against the #Patriots ☠️

The Colts were famously accused of pumping fake crowd noise into the RCA Dome during the mid-2000s.
Tom Brady, former quarterback of the Patriots, also accused them of doing the same thing.
He even took a playful shot at the Indianapolis Colts during the 2020 season since there would be no fans in the stands during that global pandemic year.

It should be noted that Belichick and Tom Brady were 3-1 at the Colts’ old stadium, so the noise did not hurt them at all no matter how annoying it may have been at the time.
The RCA Dome was knocked down in 2008 to make room for the Lucas Oil Stadium which does not need piped in noise.
Those Patriots teams had an overall great record against the Colts over the years during that intense rivalry in the AFC.
