The Day Sanchez Met His Match

When you google this iconic game, you can watch the scene in the image play out in hilarious real-time. It’s a moment that will go down in NFL history on the day the New York Jets played the New England Patriot for Thanksgiving Day game in November 2012.

The Jets had the ball, and their quarterback, Mark Sanchez, called the play. The action was fast: Blockers clashed, receivers ran, and Sanchez opted to run instead of pass. He ran through the pack instead of around it, straight into his teammate’s posterior. The ball fumbled, and the Patriots scored another touchdown in a game that ended 49-19 to them.
