2-8 from the MIA 28 -- T.Brady pass short left to B.Lloyd ran ob at MIA 18 for 10 yards.
Lloyd’s only catch of the day was a big one that helped New England rebound from the misfire on the play before. New England came out with a different look -- it was still in 12 personnel, but this time, it was
Shane Vereen in the backfield instead of Ridley. Brady was in the shotgun, and as he started calling signals, Vereen slipped out of the backfield and went in motion to the right side, eventually lining up wide right. Lloyd and Welker were again split wide left, as they were on the play before. It wasn’t the exact same play, but the sequence did bear some similarities to Welker’s pickup earlier in the drive: Lloyd was clearly the first read, and Brady (after taking a quick three-step drop) waited a couple of beats before finding No. 85, who was along the New England sideline.
He ducked out of bounds quickly to end the play.
