Except it did on Sunday, when Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw to wide receiver Kenny Stills, who caught the football over the middle at his own 45. Stills, who was surrounded by three Patriots, held the ball briefly before pitching it to DeVante Parker. Parker flipped the ball to running back Kenyan Drake, who snatched it with two Patriots defenders within an arm’s length of him. In fact, he was barely touched as he sliced through the rest of the New England defense. Most comically, the Patriots’ 6-foot-6 tight end Rob Gronkowski, who was probably on the field to bat down an anticipated Hail Mary, had the last good chance to stop Drake.
