Patriots use unusual goal line strategy against Buccaneers

Trailing 10-7 late in the first half of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , coach Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots rolled the dice in a big way.

Facing a first-and-goal from the one-yard line with just over a minute left, New England called on Drake Maye to try a quarterback sneak. And while it initially appeared that the attempt had simply failed, a look at the replay showed something else. Maye did not attempt to score. After receiving the snap, he went straight to the ground.
