NS New England Patriots may have made NFL history on Sunday – but not in the way they meant to, 안타깝게도.

New England’s NFL team was all set to head to overtime in the fourth quarter of their game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. 하지만, a confounding collapse during the last play handed the Patriots their seventh loss of the season.

With three seconds left on the game clock, both teams had 24 포인트들, but the Patriots had the ball at their own 44-yard line and could have taken the game to overtime by just protecting the ball.

레이더스’ Chandler Jones retrieved the ball after a chaotic sequence involving Patriots’ Mac Jones and Jakobi Meyers.

The Raiders scored a touchdown as the clock ran out and won the game 30-24.

Following the game, Meyers was visibly disappointed with his final play. He told Patriots beat reporter Zack Cox for NESN that the error happened because he was “trying to do too much” 그리고 “trying to be the hero” during the final play of the quarter.

“I ain’t see the dude back there,” Meyers said of Jones. Meyers explained he “tried to throw the ball” but that he “should have just went down.”

Head coach Bill Belichick didn’t seem to take the loss too hard, telling reporters, “확실히, we made a mistake,” postgame.

ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith didn’t take the loss as lightly, 하지만, calling the defeat “just embarrassing” 그리고 “unbelievable” during a broadcast segment on Monday.

Smith said he “doesn’t want to hear about coaching” as a factor for the collapse, issuing most of the blame to Meyers. “We appreciate the fact that he manned up, stood at the locker, answered the questions, accepted accountability, no doubt about that,” 그는 시작했다. “Mad love to him, I’m sure the future will be brighter.”

그 다음에, Smith said the final moments of Sunday’s game “might be the dumbest play in NFL history,” before adding that Meyers’ “name is written all over it.”

Retired Patriots star Julian Edelman was just as disappointed in his former team’s effort on Sunday. Edelman, 36, shared a video of his reaction to the final score.

“무슨 f–k are we doing,” Edelman said directly to the camera in the video before throwing his hat down.

The wild ending had plenty of NFL stars and personalities reacting on social media afterward, including Pro Bowler Robert Griffin III.
