During the Patriots' 30-27 win over the New York Jets Monday night, Folk was 3-for-3 on field goals and 2-for-2 on PATs. But what was so special about his performance was his last kick, which came with three seconds on the clock. Folk nailed a 51-yard field goal to give New England the lead and the victory of their division rivals in Week 9.
