Chandler Jones’ disrespectful stiff arm on Mac Jones during Raiders’ game winner became a new NFL meme

Mac Jones Chandler Jones NFL Raiders Patriots Jakobi Meyers

Chandler Jones didn’t have to do Mac Jones like this!

On Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders bested the New England Patriots 30-24 on the most bizarre sequence of events you’ll ever see. Yes, on the same evening after a bonkers World Cup Final and a wild Dak Prescott OT pick-six, the Patriots gave sports fans the most absurd moment of the day.

With the score tied 24-24 in the fourth quarter and the clock at double zero, Rhamondre Stevenson threw a lateral to Jakobi Meyers in an attempt to — maybe? — confuse the Raiders and sneak in a win at the last moment. Meyers then threw a lateral intended for quarterback Mac Jones right to Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones for the interception.

Chandler Jones then went 48 yards to the end zone for the stunning game-winning touchdown for the Raiders.

Decisions were… definitely made on that play by the Patriots. And as dumbfounded as NFL fans were about the play New England tried to pull with overtime right around the corner, one thing stood out above the rest. En route to the game-winning touchdown, Chandler Jones threw out a brutal stiff arm on Mac Jones — who was the last line of defense for the Patriots — before rumbling his way to the end zone.

NFL fans couldn’t help but meme the moment and make it one that Mac Jones will surely never forget.
