HARTFORD, Conn. — The Patriots’ loss to the Raiders Sunday night on a bizarre and ill-advised lateral pass that was intercepted and returned for a touchdown on the last play was enough to make any longtime fan miserable.
But Jerry Edmond, a Foran High of Milford and Central Connecticut alum attending an NFL game in person for the first time, had more reason than most to leave the stadium soured. The Patriots hope to give him a better experience on Saturday.
Edmond, in Las Vegas with friends, got tickets and wore his Patriots jersey No. 12 to Allegiant Stadium, and made it known he was cheering for them, but otherwise was acting like any other fan at a football game when a couple of Raiders fans took offense to his cheering for the visiting team.
