Patriots Tyms Makes Memorable Play Against the Bills With Huge Touchdown Grab

There are generally a few plays each year that become memorable moments for certain players, and Sunday's incredible touchdown grab by Brian Tyms will likely go down as one of those by the time the 2014 season comes to an end.

Tyms, who only played in a handful of snaps against the Bills Sunday, hauled in an incredible 43-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter between three defenders, including Bills defensive back Stephon Gilmore, who actually even was able to grab a hold of Tyms' wrist as the ball got there.

The only problem was, he wasn't able to separate Tyms' hand from the ball and the end result was a touchdown which, at the time, put New England up 20-7 less than three minutes into the second half.

"Tom put it out there and Tim went and got it," said Belichick after the game on Tyms' reception. "So, nice job by Tom creating the coverage. Low safety there, put it up there and give Tim the chance for the ball and he made the play. I've seen him do that several times this year during the preseason. It was good to see it today."

Tyms said after the game that it's his job to attack the football, which will hopefully mean fans will see more of what they saw Sunday in the weeks to come.

"Gilmore is really good. I knew regardless if I ran past him, I knew he had make-up speed so I have to attack the ball," Tyms told reporters after the game. "That's just my M.O. I always try to attack the ball. I don't like to let the ball come to me. There are a lot of good players in this league that can make a play. I wanted the ball more. I'm not going to run 40 yards without the ball."
