description

Behind on the scoreboard, and in need of a sequence of big plays to get within arm’s reach of a comeback, New England handed Ja’Lynn Polk the opportunity through an offensive favorite across the NFL: the back-shoulder throw. Celebrated for his willingness to attack any downfield pass entering his vicinity, the 2024 second-rounder sped off into an outside release, countering San Francisco’s phone booth-tight coverage by adjusting into an acrobatic, eye-opening 21-yard grab. The 49ers commanded the last laugh, dealing a 30-13 defeat on Sept. 29, 2024, though Polk — No. 1 in targets (seven) and snaps (53) among the Patriots’ receivers — found production regardless, with three catches for 30 yards.
