Down 10-27 in need of some points to get back into the game against the Titans, the Patriots drew up and awfully familiar trick play – a reverse pass back to Tom Brady.
While he redeemed himself by catching it, the Patriots QB tripped over himself and fell short of the first down. The failed conversation brought up a fourth down where the Pats turned the ball over on downs.

In a move of comical retaliation, the Titans ran the very same play on the next drive, converting a first down unlike New England.
