The New England Patriots were heavy favorites leading into their Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills, but with less than 3 minutes left in the game they were behind by two possessions. Yet, somehow Bill Belichick was able to pull a 25-24 victory out of his ass.

With 2:06 left on the clock Brady hooked up with his tight end, Benjamin Watson, making it a 5 point game. That’s when Belichick had to decide if he wanted to go for an onside kick or not. He decided to kick it deep into the hands of Bills returner Leodis McKelvin, who like an idiot ran the ball out of the endzone instead of taking the touchback. That’s when magic happened.

Patriots’ Brandon Meriweather was able to get a bear hug on McKelvin, standing him up in a vulnerable position, and allowing teammate Pierre Woods to strip the ball.

Once Brady had the ball back he wasn’t going to be denied. He hit Watson again for a 16-yard touchdown with just 50 seconds left on the clock.

I don’t know how the Patriots do it, but they just keep pulling lucky stars out of their ass.
