Watch: Julian Edelman somehow wasn’t down on long TD catch
The New England Patriots converted on a big fourth down play in the second half against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, and they ended up with much more than just a first down thanks to some incredible awareness from Julian Edelman.
Bill Belichick decided to go for it on 4th-and-4 at the Buffalo 32 with his team leading 14-6. Tom Brady found a wide open Edelman over the middle of the field, and the veteran receiver appeared to be taken down by two Bills defenders. However, he was somehow never down and popped up to scamper for a touchdown.

The play was nothing for a guy who made one of the best catches in Super Bowl history a couple years ago, but it was still plenty impressive.
