The 2020 season has not been easy on Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Yet, they stand at 5-6 after Nick Folk hit a 50-yard field goal as time expired Sunday to give the Pats a 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Patriots won despite Cam Newton throwing for 84 yards and a pair of interceptions. He was going up against Arizona’s Kyler Murray, who threw for 170 yards.
One of the key plays on the game-winning drive came when Arizona rookie Isaiah Simmons was flagged for unnecessary roughness with 56 seconds left after a 14-yard run by Newton on a third-and-13.
