Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans finally exhaling after breaking the Miami curse and watching the scoreboard cross 30 for the first time.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Gibson's 90-yard kick return touchdown turned a tense road game into the kind of statement Patriots fans haven't been allowed to make in Miami since 2019, and M.Mapu's interception of T.Tagovailoa with two minutes left sealed it. M.Washington's 74-yard punt return briefly threatened to ruin everything, but D.Maye answered with shots like the 55-yarder to R.Stevenson. Thirty-plus points, a Tagovailoa loss, and a real road win — let the fanbase have this one.
