With the New England Patriots trailing by one, safety Adrian Phillips returned an interception to the end zone to give New England the lead.
With the fourth quarter well underway, Phillips picked off a Justin Herbert pass for his second interception of the season. It was his first takeaway since Week 1 against the New York Jets. This was also his fifth takeaway as a member of the New England Patriots.
For Phillips, it gave him a chance to make an impact against his former team. The safety was acquired by New England in the 2020 offseason.

With the Patriots in a position to get to .500, the Phillips interception may prove to be crucial in making it happen.
