The Raiders and Patriots appeared headed to overtime when one of the most unbelievable, inexplicable plays in NFL history happened.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas won 30-24 on the final play, a walk-off, 48-yard defensive touchdown by Chandler Jones.<\/p>\n
The Patriots saw their playoff hopes take a serious dent as they fell to 7-7, while the Raiders improved to 6-8. It allowed the Raiders to avoid a fifth game of blowing a double-digit halftime lead.<\/p>\n
With three seconds left in a tie game, New England faced a third-and-10 at its own 45. Rhamondre Stevenson took a handoff up the middle for 23 yards, but as he was about to be tackled, he lateraled to receiver Jakobi Meyers .<\/p>\n
Meyers went backward, and, for some reason, tried to do a throwback pass to quarterback Mac Jones. Instead, Chandler Jones caught it, trucked Mac Jones and ran 48 yards for a touchdown with no time left.<\/p>\n
It was one of the most improbable endings in NFL history.<\/p>\n
The Patriots had scored 21 consecutive points and seemed in firm control after trailing 17-3 at halftime. The Raiders already had blown an NFL-record four double-digit halftime leads this season.<\/p>\n
But Las Vegas scored two touchdowns in the final 32 seconds to win it.<\/p>\n
Keelan Cole caught a 30-yard pass from Derek Carr with 32 seconds left to complete a nine-play, 81-yard drive that took only 1:39. The play was reviewed, and it appeared Cole’s second foot was out of bounds when it landed. But replay decided it wasn’t definitive, apparently, and allowed the touchdown to stand. <\/p>\n
The Patriots ran six plays after getting the ball back, but the sixth did them in.<\/p>\n
Jones finished 13-of-31 for 112 yards, while Stevenson ran for 172 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries.<\/p>\n
Josh Jacobs ran for 93 yards on 22 carries, while Carr went 20-of-38 for 231 yards with three touchdowns and an interception, which was a 16-yard pick-six by Kyle Dugger early in the second half.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
