The New England Patriots entered the 2024 NFL season after making some big changes. Most notably, New England is no longer served by legendary head coach Bill Belichick. Thus, while a 1-3 start is not what the team desires, it is understandable. On the bright side, the Patriots got a stout showing from placekicker Joey Slye against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Slye's stellar field goal has drawn a decisive move from the NFL.
The Patriots trailed the 49ers 20-0 with three seconds left in the first half when Joey Slye kicked an impressive team-record 63-yard field goal that put New England on the board.
