One of the pivotal moments of Sunday’s game between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills came in the early fourth quarter. Down 16-10 after giving up a field goal on the previous drive, the Bills were facing a critical 3rd and 8 at New England’s 45-yard line. With the pocket collapsing quickly after the snap, quarterback Josh Allen decided to take off and try to reach the first down marker on a scramble attempt.
His run came to an abrupt end. While Patriots safety Duron Harmon initially wrapped up his legs, his momentum carried Allen forward which caused cornerback Jonathan Jones to come in as well to stop him from gaining the eight yards needed to extend the drive.
