Cam Newton called it a “tsunami.”
For Jakobi Meyers, the thrower, Sunday night's fierce concoction of wind and rain were the perfect storm at Gillette Stadium to unleash Bill Belichick’s newest weapon.
Meyers, in his pro passing debut, might as well have been channeling his inner TB12.
The New England Patriots receiver took a backwards pass from Newton, outside the left hash and arched a 24-yard bomb to the deep right corner of the end zone – straight into Rex Burkhead’s bread basket, putting the Patriots ahead for good in the stunner over the Baltimore Ravens.
Jakobi Meyers had the play of the first half!
The completion probability on his bomb to Rex Burkhead was 34 percent.#NextGenStats powered by @awscloud pic.twitter.com/BpWHOwlP5U
