Robert Kraft credits teens for calling an audible on runaway school bus

TOPSHAM, Maine (AP) — Two teenagers who helped bring a runaway school bus to a stop and called for help have been invited to the New England Patriots season opener.

Team owner Robert Kraft delivered the invitation himself during a Zoom call with Connor and Seamus Collins, who stepped in when the bus driver suffered a fatal medical event on March 14 in Topsham, Maine.

“You guys are unbelievable,” Kraft said Tuesday. “My team told me what you did there. You guys really called an audible on that bus.”

In football, an audible is a last-second play change by the quarterback at the line of scrimmage.
