Hutchinson leaped in the air but went straight to the ground after landing. He immediately grabbed his right knee. He stayed down and eventually was able to walk to the blue tent for evaluation.

Hutchinson had sacked Maye on third down at the Detroit 15-yard line on New England’s first drive. Andy Borregales then kicked a 33-yard field goal.
