As long as there’s one play left in the game, anything can happen. We’ve heard it all before, but few times has it resulted in such a wild ending as was witnessed Sunday.

In the game between the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders, the Patriots lined up for one more play with the game all tied up. With the ball still in New England’s territory, all signs were pointing toward overtime between the two sides.

Then, the Patriots tried to pull off some lateral magic and get a walk-off touchdown. Things quickly turned south when one of the throwbacks went directly to Raiders defender Chandler Jones.

The bigger issue for the Patriots was the fact that only QB Mac Jones stood between Chandler Jones and the end zone. The much larger defender easily stiff-armed the QB into the turf, and the rest is history, sending Las Vegas to a walk-off win in the wildest of fashions.
