The DUMBEST FORMATION in New England Patriots HISTORY | Patriots @ Jets (1981)

In week 6 of the 1981 season, in a game at Shea Stadium between the New England Patriots and New York Jets, the Patriots were down 28-24, and were driving, needing a touchdown to win it. The play that they called next torpedoed their chances at winning, and, considering the circumstances, was one of the dumbest play calls ever, because it had a 0% chance at working.
