The New England Patriots started their Week 7 game against the New York Jets in perfect fashion. Receiving the opening kickoff, the team marched right down the field and on its fourth offensive play of the day found the opposing end zone for the first time.
The Patriots scoring a touchdown to cap the possession was not a surprise given that they have played some solid offensive football as of late and were going up against a 1-4 team. The play call itself, however, very much was.
Quarterback Mac Jones aligned in a shotgun formation and threw a quick backwards pass to Kendrick Bourne.
