It was a good situational play.”Īndrews seemed to be in awe of what happened on the play. Those are sometimes the hardest because you see a guy running out, looking at you, you don't want to put it on a line so they can intercept it. Sometimes with the shifts and motions, that's what happens on defense. “Been working on that play for quite some time here. Puts a lot of stress on the defense,” Mac Jones said. The Patriots QB said that he also saw something similar prior to the snap – and that it's something they've practiced, too. I saw his look and I just knew what it meant and we were good to go.” We all pray for moments like that, to be open like that. “Nobody came out with me, I looked at Mac and he saw me. “Yeah I was in tight at first and I shifted out,” Meyers said. Meyers said that he and Mac Jones liked what they saw in the Dolphins' coverage, which saw the receiver dealing with just one corner far from where the ball was snapped. New England looked like it was about to stall out on another red zone drive until Jones completed a one-yard touchdown pass to Meyers on a fade route that gave the Patriots a 23-14 lead with 4:37 left before winning 23-21.Īfter the game, center David Andrews was the first to reveal that Jones and Meyers broke out from the original play call on that play. Five plays later, on another third-and-5 from the Dolphins' 27-yard line, Meyers beat his man along the sideline when Jones threw to him deep, drawing a pass interference penalty to get the Patriots to the 5-yard line. On third-and-5 from their own 32-yard line, Mac Jones threw a tight pass to complete a 25-yard reception to Meyers. When the New England Patriots began their game-deciding with just under 10 minutes up and leading 16-14, they called on the reliable receiver's number three times on third down. FOXBOROUGH – Jakobi Meyers stepped up in the clutch on Sunday.
