Highlight of the game: Raekwon McMillan’s scoop-and-score touchdown

Touchdowns were hard to come by for the New England Patriots in their battle with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night. The defense ruled the evening, and it even led to points for New England.

Linebacker Raekwon McMillan made a heads-up play on Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, leading to a touchdown for the Patriots.

The Cardinals were driving down the field, and quarterback Colt McCoy targeted Hopkins. The receiver began to turn upfield on a slant route. McMillan punched the ball out of Hopkins’ hand, scooped it up and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown.

McMillan’s play was just another example of New England’s stout defense. The Patriots came into Monday night’s game ninth in the league with 23 opponent turnovers, per StatMuse.  Plays like the scoop and score illustrate why New England is high on that list.
