Bill Belichick didn’t take much time clarifying why he said Mac Jones “couldn’t throw it that far” in regards why the New England Patriots didn’t attempt a “Hail Mary” on the final play in the shocking loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. <\/p>\n

In a 24-24 game with three seconds left, the Patriots called a draw play with Rhamondre Stevenson instead, and the running back lateraled the ball back to Jakobi Meyers. The craziness ensued after Meyers touched the ball, as the wide receiver inexplicably threw a 12-yard pass back to Jones — only the Raiders’ Chandler Jones was there to pick off the backwards pass and take it 48 yards for the winning touchdown<\/span>. <\/p>\n

This was a colossal mistake by Belichick in a season full of them. The Patriots coach stood his ground that 55 yards was too far to throw a pass for Jones to reach the end one. <\/p>\n

“I said it was too far,” Belichick said on WEEI’s”The Greg Hill Show” Monday<\/a>. “It’s too far to throw that play in that situation.” <\/p>\n
