Time to celebrate the 8th anniversary of the ‘Butt Fumble’

As the New York Jets continue on the road to infamy — and Los Angeles to face the Chargers — in the 2020 season, Nov. 22 revives the memory of a low point for a franchise that has seen its share of embarrassing moments.

Thanksgiving fell on Nov. 22 in 2012 and the New England Patriots were facing Gang Green that evening.

A place took place in that game that has become known as the “Butt Fumble” and Mark Sanchez and the Jets will never live it down.

The Jets trailed 14-0 in the second quarter.
