LAS VEGAS -- While the play at the end of the game is the one that many will be discussing after the Patriots loss to the Raiders, there was another New England miscue at the end of the half that led to a game-changing score.
With 36 seconds remaining, the Patriots had a punt blocked that eventually led to a Derek Carr touchdown pass to Mac Hollins. That put the Patriots down two touchdowns, 17-3, going into halftime.
How did it happen? Confusion with the play-clock, Patriots players said afterward.
There was an expectation that the play-clock would've been "bumped" -- or, in other words, reset -- by officials as the Patriots waited to punt the ball.
