The Patriots were what looked like a punched-out football away from pulling off a Christmas miracle. But, like a Hallmark holiday movie, the Patriots' finish was predictable.
finished with 240 yards passing, completing 21 of his 33 attempts, adding two touchdowns for a rating of 105.6. Forty-eight of those yards came on a Meyers touchdown that was tipped by Scotty Washington, but credit to Jones for getting it down the field that way in freezing temperatures one week after his arm strength seemed to be questioned byJones threw behind Meyers on a crossing route and later launched a fade too deep in the first half.
Jonnu Smith had three grabs for 21 yards before leaving with a head injury when he and Kendrick Bourne occupied the same space at the same time on a fourth-quarter completion. Scotty Washington had a tremendous tip on Mac Jones’ long-bomb touchdown, and he was credited with an assist from Meyers after the fact. Not bad for a practice-squad call-up.The Patriots averaged just 3.8 yards per carry, and Mac Jones was sacked four times.
