EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The only thing on Pharaoh Brown’s mind when he caught the ball at the 40-yard line and sprinted for the end zone was to get past the goal line.
He dove past the line with an outstretched arm Sunday, slamming the football into the MetLife Stadium turf, scoring New England’s only touchdown during their 15-10 win against the Jets. The score marked the second-longest touchdown pass of Mac Jones’s career.
“It felt great, got me a little Gronk spike in,” Brown said of the catch.
The Patriots signed Brown to the 53-man roster three weeks ago.
