This time, the video splits between the 32-yard touchdown reception and the look on Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans’ face as it happens.<\/p>\n
The play was basically a knockout blow for the Texans. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye dropped back in the pocket and threw a perfect pass out in front of Boutte, who dove for it and brought it in with one hand. The most impressive part about the play is the fact that it came against First-Team All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who had tight coverage on the play.<\/p>\n
It looked like a catch-of-the-year kind of play for the Patriots.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n It was a tough physical game that ended with the Patriots coming out on top in a 28-16 victory. They had some struggles offensively, but they made enough plays in key moments to punch their ticket to Mile High for the AFC Championship Game.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a> Follow Patriots Wire on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 20, 2026, 11:38 a.m. ET An alternate camera angle from New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":691705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[95878,7,221,253,2368,6,96851,96852,95882,96679,96723,96127,95893,97164,96854,95895,95906,96099,95883,95894,222,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-691704","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston-texans","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-texans","12":"tag-houstontexans","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-sstssportsnflpatriots","15":"tag-sstsnpatriots","16":"tag-tagamerican-football","17":"tag-tagdemeco-ryans","18":"tag-tagderek-stingley-jr","19":"tag-tagdrake-maye","20":"tag-tagfacebook","21":"tag-tagkayshon-boutte","22":"tag-tagnew-england-patriots","23":"tag-tagnfl-hub","24":"tag-tagoverall-positive","25":"tag-tagsec-conference-football","26":"tag-tagsports-news","27":"tag-tagtwitter","28":"tag-texans","29":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115928704493394718","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/691705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768931535_466_86371878007-cardis-1.jpg\")
