Patriots fans celebrating a 14-3 turnaround while already bracing for Maye to get robbed of MVP.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 56-yard R.Stevenson burst in the first quarter set the tone, and J.Hawkins picking off Q.Ewers in the end zone sealed any lingering doubt before halftime. The fish got squished, 14-3 is real, and the back-to-back 3-14 hangover is officially over. The only thing left to process: whether a blocked A.Borregales field goal is the kind of special-teams hiccup that matters in January, or just a footnote on a regular season nobody saw coming.
What fans said
“Maye is the clear choice for MVP and is 100% going to get fucked out of it so Stafford can get it as a career participation trophy.”
