After defeating the Arizona Cardinals last week on Monday Night Football, the New England Patriots stayed out west to take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
New England came back from a 17-3 halftime deficit to score 21 unanswered points and take a seven-point lead late in the fourth quarter, only to let the Raiders tie the game with under a minute remaining. The Patriots then executed maybe the most poorly-timed (and poorly-conducted) lateral play in NFL history, with wide receiver Jakobi Meyers throwing the ball backwards into the waiting arms of Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones, who ran 48 yards the other way to give Las Vegas the game-winning score as time expired.
Here are three big takeaways from the game.
