The Patriots pulled out a trick play to get on the board early in Sunday’s game against the Jets.
Wide receiver Kendrick Bourne caught a backward pass from Mac Jones and then threw a forward pass to fellow wideout Nelson Agholor as Agholor ran open near the end zone. Agholor caught the pass for a 25-yard touchdown and the Patriots are up 7-0 after running four offensive plays.
Damien Harris had a 12-yard run to open the drive and tight end Jonnu Smith took a screen from Jones for 28 yards to set the stage for Bourne.
