Chandler Jones missed a tackle and it cost the New England Patriots the game. That’s the weird paradox that got lost in what will go down as one of the most memorable football plays in Las Vegas Raiders history.
We’ll get to the infamy that lies ahead for the Patriots and wideout Jakobi Meyers. But not before recognizing how the play started for Jones and the Raiders, which turned out being every bit as consequential as the unimaginable ending. When you roll back the highlight (lowlight?), you can see that the play never should have happened.
