New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez fumbled the football after he was knocked to the ground by his own teammate's butt, and New England Patriots cornerback Steve Gregory recovered the fumble and ran it 32 yards for a touchdown on Thanksgiving night at MetLife Stadium.
It happened in the second quarter as Sanchez missed a handoff to his running back, then ran towards the line of scrimmage, straight into offensive lineman Brandon Moore's rear end. The impact knocked Sanchez on his back and caused him to drop the ball on the turf, and Gregory picked it up for the easy touchdown. The play helped the Patriots roll to a 35-3 halftime lead in the game.
The play by Sanchez not only epitomizes his career so far, but also epitomizes the New York Jets organization in a nutshell. Absolutely embarrassing.
