EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets rookie Malachi Corley never will forget his first NFL carry. He will wish that he could.
The wide receiver, known in college for his ability for produce yards after the catch, got the ball on a jet sweep and scored on a 19-yard run -- or so it appeared. The celebration was cut short because it was ruled that he dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line.
It was an intentional drop; Corley thought he was in the end zone. After a replay review, it was ruled a fumble. The ball rolled out of the end zone and was declared a touchback. When things go bad, they really go bad.
