Patriots coach Bill Belichick defended his decisions on sending his offense instead of his field goal unit on the field in two critical fourth down situations in the fourth quarter of New England’s 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
On 4th and 3 with 9:32 to play in regulation, quarterback Mac Jones attempted a pass to Ezekiel Elliott that fell incomplete. Then, after a replay review by officials on 4th and 11 from the Eagles’ 20 with 27 seconds remaining in the game, Jones’s pass to Kayshon Boutte was ruled incomplete, signaling a win for Philadelphia.
