In a game with one of the wildest endings you’ll ever see, the Las Vegas Raiders took down the New England Patriots 30-24.
On the final play of regulation in a tied game, the Patriots ran the ball on their own 45-yard line, seemingly accepting overtime. And what followed was nothing short of pandemonium.
Rhamondre Stevenson lateraled to his teammate Jakobi Meyers, who tried to throw a lateral to quarterback Mac Jones. Former Patriot Chandler Jones picked it off, buried Jones with a stiff-arm and ran 48 yards for the walk-off touchdown.

The Raiders improve to 6-8 with the win and keep their slim playoff hopes alive. The Patriots fall to 7-7 and are outside the current AFC playoff picture.
Offensive spotlight: Other than creating the chaotic final play, Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had an otherwise successful game. On 19 carries, Stevenson ran for a career-high 172 yards and a touchdown, with 116 yards coming after contact.
Defensive spotlight: Josh Uche is one of the hottest defenders in the league right now. Since Week 9, his 92.2 grade leads defensive players. Against the Raiders, the second-year edge defender tallied four pressures and a 24% pass-rush win rate.
Rookie spotlight: Luke Masterson had the best game of his rookie season so far. The Raiders’ undrafted linebacker from Wake Forest has a 79.1 grade on first review, a career-high. He had a tackle for loss and two coverage stops.
Offensive line spotlight: Neither offensive line was particularly impressive in this game, but the Raiders edged out the Patriots with a 75.6 pass-blocking grade. Rookie guard Dylan Parham was particularly impressive and kept a clean sheet in pass protection.
