Efton Chism’s preparation pays off with game-winning touchdown vs. Bills

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel emphasizes the importance of seizing every opportunity presented to players. Wide receiver Efton Chism III exemplified this mindset during a game against the Buffalo Bills, taking advantage of a crucial moment in the third quarter when Mack Hollins was sidelined with a calf injury. With Chism playing a season-high 34 offensive snaps, he made a 19-yard catch, setting the stage for a game-winning one-handed touchdown three plays later.

Chism's teammate, Romeo Doubs, praised Chism's work ethic, describing it as "snag of the year." Chism himself credited his ability to focus during critical moments, stating, "Saw it in the air." Throughout his first two years with the Patriots, Chism has been recognized for his diligent preparation and dedication to the team, with coach Vrabel highlighting his rigorous routine and tireless work ethic.
