The New England Patriots have few memorable scoring plays so far this season. Frankly, they have few scoring plays in general this season.
Sunday’s 30-13 loss against the San Francisco 49ers was more of the same in that regard: all the team mustered was a solitary touchdown plus a pair of field goals. One of those kicks, however, was worthy of making a highlight reel.
At the end of the first half, Joey Slye split the uprights from 63 yards out. The kick went into the Patriots’ books as the longest in franchise history, and one of the best plays of their 2024 season so far period.
