It would have been a frontrunner for early play of the season, but unfortunately for the New England Patriots it came up inches short.
Late in the fourth quarter of their Sunday night game against the Miami Dolphins and trailing 24-17, the Patriots found themselves in a 4th-and-3 situation. With only a minute on the clock it was do or die for the team.
The play quickly turned into a disaster. Quarterback Mac Jones was pressured up the gut right away, and had to unload quickly to have any chance to succeed. He found Mike Gesicki just short of the sticks, but with the tight end tightly covered there was no chance for him to reach forward for the conversion.
