Folk hit a 51-yarder as time expired
In a game that probably shouldn’t have come down to the final seconds, it was Nick Folk playing hero.
The Patriots kicker nailed a 51-yarder as time expired Monday to give New England a 30-27 victory over the still-winless New York Jets. It was a huge kick for Folk, as it snapped the Patriots’ four-game losing streak and prevented them from suffering an embarrassing loss to the worst team in the NFL.
Shortly after the kick was made, the Patriots shared a video from a cool angle of the moment Folk hit the game-winner.
A much tougher task now awaits the Patriots, as they’ll host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night at Gillette Stadium.
