FOXBORO, Mass. -- Jakobi Meyers and the New England Patriots were given quite the fourth-quarter gift during their Week 16 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Meyers, one week after being the goat of the game, hauled in a 48-yard touchdown pass that initially deflected off of receiver Scotty Washington. Meyers, standing at the 1-yard line as quarterback Mac Jones tossed up a prayer on third-and-29 from the Cincinnati 48, had the ricochet off Washington's hands fall into his lap and easily scored.
The touchdown cut New England's deficit to 22-18 with 6:02 remaining in regulation. It also marked 18 unanswered points scored by the Patriots, who trailed 22-0 at halftime.
