description

Star Patriots linebacker Andre Tippett took advantage of the high snap on this botched punt attempt by the Raiders, chasing down the loose ball and scooping it up before running 25 yards to the end zone for the score, the first touchdown of his NFL career. Despite the big play from Tippett, New England went on to fall to the Raiders in this one, 35-20, on Sept. 29, 1985.
