Local radio announcer calls Patriots ‘dumbest team’ after boneheaded, game-losing play

The New England Patriots lost their Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders in unbelievable fashion. With the game tied and just three seconds remaining, the Patriots opted not to try and throw a hail mary from midfield, but, instead, try a lateral play.
