Perry: Pats Players Defend Meyers After Late-Game Gaffe Vs. Raiders

LAS VEGAS -- Jakobi Meyers made it very clear: He wanted the blame for how things ended at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.

"Trying," Meyers said, "to do too much... Trying to be a hero, I guess."

Meyers was emotional in the visitors locker room on Sunday night, accepting responsibility for lateralling the football back in the direction of Mac Jones with time off the clock in a tied game. Chandler Jones stepped in front of the football, corralled it, ran over the Patriots quarterback, and made the game-winning score.

Players indicated after the game that the play-call in the huddle was for a draw to Rhamondre Stevenson.
