The New England Patriots lost to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. However, an attempt at a game-winning drive was thwarted by a key drop from Devante Parker. Mac Jones delivered a beautiful 50-yard strike with the game hanging in the balance, and it went right through Devante Parker's hands.
To add insult to injury, DeVante Parker said after the game that he felt he "got his fingertips on the pass," according to the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed. If you look at the clip, it clearly shows a perfectly placed pass hitting him in the hands. It was a game-defining drop that should have warranted a better response from one of the team's veterans.
Here is another angle of the drop:
The Patriots face an uphill battle to climb back into relevance from the 1-5 hole they have dug themselves. They will face both division rivals, the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins, in the next two weeks. They are currently on a fast track to a top-five pick, putting several players and coaches' jobs in jeopardy.
