Predicting every game of the Patriots’ 2016 regular season
"New England leads 20-18 with 10 seconds left. Buffalo has the ball on the Patriots’ 37; it’s fourth and a long two. Bills head coach Rex Ryan just used his second timeout, and has a decision to make:
Does he send out Dan Carpenter for a tough but makeable 54-yard game-winner? Does he trust Tyrod Taylor to get a first down, then call his final time out and give Carpenter a chance from say, 47?
Rex is visibly rattled. He doesn’t know what to do. He calls over his twin brother, Rob. He may be the defensive coordinator, but he’s the only one Rex can trust. The only one who gets him. After a quick conversation and a heartfelt hug, the Ryan brothers send out the punt team."
