The Within the NFL The crew dressed up as each other for Halloween on Wednesday night’s episode. It was the kind of joke that would make HR departments collectively break out in a cold sweat, but all four participants seemed to really love it.
Chris Long and Chad Ochocinco went as each other, requiring Long to insert some temporary gold teeth and Ochocinco to pick up some nicotine pouches. That was compelling crossover content, but all eyes were understandably on Ryan Clark and Bill Belichick. Or rather: “Ryan Clark” and “Bill Belichick”.
Belichick, who has a long history of getting into costumed Halloween fun, looked fresh in a two-tone, double-breasted suit and Clark, well, that’s what Clark looked like.

There are some things you can’t undo and this is one of them. But that’s kind of the mark of a good Halloween costume. A low-grade feeling of utter unrest and wishing that everything would go back to normal is what the holidays are all about.
Again, as a warning, don’t dress like one of your colleagues at work today without 100 percent certainty that they’re on board with the joke. It’s a high-risk, high-reward proposition.
