An unbelievably ugly end to the Patriots-Raiders game will not be forgotten anytime soon.
With the game tied at 24-24 with just seconds left, all New England needed to do was take a knee to head to overtime. Instead, the Patriots decided to hand the ball to running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who then lateraled the ball to Jakobi Meyers before the receiver’s errant pass to quarterback Mac Jones was caught by Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones. Chandler Jones returned it to the end zone for a game-winning touchdown, giving the Raiders a 30-24 victory.
The decision-making was horrendous but the reactions, as you can imagine, have been priceless. Much of the humor from the NFL world has been tossed toward Patriots quarterback Mac Jones, who was left helpless trying to tackle Chandler Jones on the game’s final play.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter.
This one is going to be talked about for a long time.
