The New England Patriots came within a foot of sustaining a red zone drive that might have led to a game-winning touchdown in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Quarterback Mac Jones attempted to connect with rookie wide receiver Kayshon Boutte on a sideline throw on a fourth-and-11 in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter. Boutte came up with the football, but he failed to keep both feet inbounds for it to be ruled a catch.
That ended an incredible rally attempt from the Patriots in a 25-20 loss at Gillette Stadium.
There were still a bunch of positive takeaways from what ended up being a great football game. Former Patriots legend Tom Brady was in the building to be honored by the team at halftime. So it was clearly a big afternoon for the organization both on and off the field.
