FOXBOROUGH — At one point during last Sunday’s Patriots-Jets game, the CBS broadcast identified a fan in the stands as the father of wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. The man, wearing a Patriots jersey over a black hoodie, smiled softly as he held his phone up to record the action on the field.
“His dad is at all his games,” said play-by-play announcer Andrew Catalon. “You saw him there.”
With the Patriots charging their way up the field and into the red zone, the commentators recalled their production meeting with Meyers, and how he told them his father has been on his case about scoring his first NFL touchdown.
