Patriots’ Jakobi Meyers Explains Mistake on Last Play of Loss to Raiders

The visiting Patriots left Las Vegas in disbelief Sunday after a costly mistake on the last play of the game led to an unbelievable game-winning touchdown from Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones.

Jones’s walk-off score was made possible by a pair of ill-timed laterals from Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson and receiver Jakobi Meyers on third-and-10 with the game tied at 24 with three seconds to play in the game. After taking a handoff 23 yards up the middle, Stevenson tossed the ball to Meyers, who then tossed a long cross-field lateral that was snagged by Jones, who stiff-armed Patriots quarterback Mac Jones en route to a 48-yard TD.
