If there was a perfect way to put a bow on a thoroughly ugly afternoon in Miami, the Patriots saved it for last. If you were waiting for that fairytale 98-yard razzle-dazzle, Miami Miracle in reverse, storybook finish, you were disappointed.
Jakobi Meyers backward lateral had zero chance of doing anything other than putting a fitting epitaph on yet another frustrating loss. It was intercepted for a touchdown and finished the scoring at 33-24 and finish the season at 10-7. And the Patriots continue to play like…the Jaguars when they get off the plane in Miami.
Now they’ll have to travel back to Buffalo for a rubber match with the Bills.
