No one would have predicted that the Raiders would win on an unbelievable late-game Patriots blunder under Bill Belichick’s watch ahead of Sunday’s matchup—not a single person.
But in the closing seconds of the Pats-Raiders, game with a chance to play overtime, a play that seemed fitting for the moment turned into an absolute disaster. On the final play, running back Rhamondre Stevenson threw a lateral pass to Jakobi Meyers, who then attempted to throw the ball to quarterback Mac Jones but instead found the Raiders’ Chandler Jones, who returned it for a game-winning pick-six.
