The New England Patriots are one win away from a sixth Super Bowl appearance in the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era which means they’re working on Sundays and making a good impression to Bill Lumbergh of Office Space fame.
Tom Brady has been putting in overtime during his career to be one of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL and his head coach, Bill Belichick has been a stern taskmaster who urges his players to simply “do their job” and not worry about anything else.

This type of attitude is straight out of the 1999 comedy Office Space where a few unhappy office workers were none too pleased with their boss Bill Lumbergh who was a robot and devoid of human emotion. Sounds like Belichick, right?
Well, the Patriots had a little fun with that whole concepts and used defensive end Chandler Jones to spoof the comedy in this hilarious little clip posted on the team’s Twitter account.

No, Jones is not going to be up for any Oscar nominations anytime soon, so you don’t need to worry about the talented young pass rusher leaving his day job for a career in Hollywood, but this is pretty funny.
The #DoYourJob campaign is one job that isn’t met with any resistance unlike other jobs where you’re required to come in on Sunday and the fans in Gillette Stadium should be loud from the opening kick as they hope to be a hostile crowd for Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts.
Luck and the Colts were beat by the Patriots earlier this year when Jonas Gray ran for more than 200 yards, but Luck is 12-0 in his career when meeting a team for the second time in a season. Sure, nine of those games have come against the Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars, but it is still a telling stat when he faces a defense for the second time.
Do you think the Pats fans will do their job and present an uninviting setting for Luck and the Colts and help send Brady, Belichick and the Pats to a sixth Super Bowl?
Let us know in the comments section below who you’re picking and why in today’s nightcap of the doubleheader in the NFL today.
