Julian Edelman was like every other Patriots fan as they stared in disbelief at how they lost on Sunday on a fluke play.
If you thought the Miami Miracle was a bad loss for the New England Patriots, wait until you see how they gave away Sunday’s Week 15 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. It looked like the game was headed for overtime late in the fourth quarter as the Patriots handed the ball off to Rhamondre Stevenson on the final play of regulation and he actually gained a bunch of yards, so he decided to lateral the ball to Jakobi Meyers. That was a big mistake.
Jakobi Meyers threw the ball back toward the line of scrimmage. The ball flew right into Raiders linebacker Chandler Jones’ hands and he took it back for the game-winning touchdown.
After the game, Edelman, who was inside the stadium, sent out a video to show how upset he was.
The result drops the Patriots to 7-7 and makes their path to the AFC playoffs much harder. Mac Jones completed just 13 of his 31 passes for 112 yards with no touchdowns or picks. Stevenson ran for 172 yards and a touchdown.
The Patriots return home from their two-game road trip to host the Bengals on Christmas Eve.
