Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte Emerging as Drake Maye's Go-To Deep Threat

The Patriots were driving down five points late in the fourth quarter of their 2023 season-opener against the defending NFC champions.

New England was attempting to come back from a 16-point deficit but was now in a do-or-die situation. With 29 seconds remaining, the Patriots faced a 4th-and-11 at the Philly 20-yard line, trailing 25-20. Former QB Mac Jones threw a pass to the sticks into the left sideline. Then-rookie receiver Kayshon Boutte's right foot was in bounds, but his left foot came down on the white chalk. Following a review, the play was ruled incomplete and the comeback bid fell short in a loss to the Eagles.
