Patriots' leads to Raiders win and NFL fans are left stunned: 'I can't stop laughing'

The Las Vegas Raiders defeated the New England Patriots in one of the wildest endings to a game ever.

With the game tied at 24 apiece, Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson found a hole in the Raiders secondary. Instead of sliding or letting himself get tackled to bring the tied game into overtime, Stevenson decided he wanted to make a play out of nothing and maybe score a touchdown.

Stevenson lateralled the ball back to wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. The wide receiver took the ball and attempted to throw the ball backward toward Patriots quarterback Mac Jones. Instead, Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones was waiting for the ball.

Chandler Jones ran over Mac Jones and scored the game-winning touchdown as time expired.

The Raiders won the game 30-24 in one of the most improbable ways. Additionally, while the radio calls were spot on, the Twitter reaction to the play might have been even better.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick bemoaned the mistakes after the game while talking to reporters.

"Collectively made too many mistakes and gave up some big plays that were obviously the difference in the game," he said.

Meyers and Stevenson both took responsibility for the failures on the play.

"The play call was just a draw play — nothing more, nothing less than that," Stevenson said. "I’m supposed to know the situation. I’m supposed to know how much time is on the clock in critical situations and I failed to do that today."

Meyers said he was trying to play the hero.

"That ain’t his fault. He gave me the ball, I got to be smart with it," Meyers said. "I thought I saw Mac open. I didn’t see Chandler Jones at the time. Just thought he was open, tried to get it to him, then let him try to make a play with it. But the score was tied, so like I said, I should have just laid down."

NY Times Sunday crossword puzzles readers with swastika shape on Hanukkah: ‘How did this get approved’

The New York Times published a crossword puzzle on Sunday, the first day of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, that many readers thought was shaped like a Nazi Swastika. 

No one involved with the puzzle seemed to notice. In a Times column about the Sunday crossword, Caitlin Lovinger wrote, "I love the geometry in this puzzle — so many stair steps! — and feel that it contributes to a certain evenness in the solve." Ryan McCarty, the puzzle’s constructor, described the design as a "fun whirlpool shape."

But The Times was criticized heavily on Twitter by people across the political spectrum for what they thought what was clear to see.

"[W]hy is The New York Times' crossword a swastika?" Daily Wire senior writer Ryan Saavedra asked in a tweet.

Keith Edwards, a Democratic strategist and Lincoln Project alum, tweeted, "This is the NYTimes crossword puzzle today on the first day of Hanukkah. What the hell, @nytimes?"

"I personally believe swastikas shouldn’t appear in the New York Times, intentionally or otherwise. Didn’t think that would be a controversial take," he continued.

"I know that the @nytimes crossword wasn’t intentionally laid out as a swastika so I guess the sin here is bad editing. How did this get approved without somebody noticing?" Sam Sokol, a reporter at Haaretz.com, tweeted.

"Today’s New York Times crossword is um…making me nervous," Jewish Journal columnist Blake Flayton tweeted.

Sara Luterman, a reporter with the left-wing 19th News, asked, "Is it just me or does the @nytimes crossword look kind of swastika-y today?"

"It’s the first night of Hanukkah, so the NYT gives us a swastika crossword puzzle…," Aaron Lavinsky, a photojournalist with the Star Tribune, tweeted.

"Intentional swastika or not, the fact that the @nytimes @NYTGames would have a staff so insensitive to not catch it, is worthy of discussion & action. This is not getting the attention it deserves. #NeverAgain," said former Obama and Biden fundraiser Eric Ortner.

Kalman Yeger, a Democratic City Councilman who represents Borough Park, a predominantly Jewish area in Brooklyn, tweeted, "A hidden Happy Chanukah message in today's @nytimes crossword?"

Brian Robinson, a former New York Congressional candidate, tweeted ,"I know the @nytimes is not, how do I say it, the friendliness paper to Jewish folk (outside of the nutty far left self haters), but this subliminal crossword puzzle is NEXT LEVEL."

On the same weekend the Times published the disturbing crossword puzzle, its editorial board published a piece slamming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an extremist and warning that Israeli democracy is at risk. They described the incoming leader's return to power as "a significant threat to the future of Israel — its direction, its security and even the idea of a Jewish homeland."
