The New England Patriots found themselves in a critical situation midway through the third quarter of their Week 12 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Up 19-13 and facing a 3rd-and-6 at the Tennessee 41-yard line, anything but a conversion would have given the Titans a realistic chance at taking their first lead of the day.
At that point in the game, the Patriots had converted just two of their seven third-down attempts. They were unsuccessful on their last five straight.
This one, however, went differently thanks to the “Energizer Bunny” himself: wide receiver Kendrick Bourne.
