Marte Mapu is going to want that one back.
The Patriots safety intercepted Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the end zone, but his ensuing mind-numbing decision hindered New England’s defense from fully benefitting of the play.
Mapu, who caught the arm punt from Allen a few yards into the end zone, attempted to return it but ultimately was tackled at the New England 1-yard line. It cost the Patriots 19 yards of field position, though Drake Maye and the offense ultimately got back out to the 20-yard line on its next possession.
Nevertheless, many had the same reaction to Mapu’s decision including those on the 98.5 Sport Hub broadcast and on social media.

Mapu, who fired the ball in frustration after he was tackled at the 1-yard line, surely wishes he had it back.
