Patriots fumble two returns in 14 seconds, giving the Ravens two touchdowns

What a mess!

The New England Patriots appeared to be running away with the game against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. The Patriots had forced yet another punt, and the Ravens looked like they had lost any hope.

On the punt, Patriots returner Cyrus Jones wasn’t eager to get away from the football, and watched as the ball neared him. It then touched the toe of his foot, and bounced towards the end zone. Because of this, it was a live ball, and the Ravens recovered the fumble.

The Ravens were able to capitalize off of the mistake, and scored a touchdown to make it a 23-10 game in the third quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Patriots fumbled it yet again.

With another fumble, came yet another touchdown for the Ravens, making it a 23-17 game.

Before all of that, the Ravens were down 20. By the time it was all finished, the Ravens were very much in the game, one that they needed in order to stay in the AFC playoff race. Still, New England was able to hold on for the 30-23 win.
