The New England Patriots scored a touchdown in rare fashion on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
No, it was not rare because it was the team’s first touchdown since Week 3 against the New York Jets.
In the third quarter approaching the goal line, Malik Cunningham lined up at quarterback and then ran in motion out wide to line up as a receiver. That left running back Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield to take the snap in the Wildcat formation. Elliott followed his blockers into the end zone for a two-yard score. The touchdown ended the drought for the Patriots and also gave Elliott his first score with New England.
