New York Jets as an NFL laughingstock: An inconceivable myth

It looked to be a simple dive down the A-gap. At the very least, the B-gap was the widest intended area for which the New York Jets run play was designed. The problem lied in running back Shonn Green scattering on a swing to the left instead of taking the handoff while following fullback Lex Hilliard.

The end result was disastrous. Not only did the franchise have to feel pain on the field, but the entire Thanksgiving-eating world watched in laughter. Mark Sanchez looked to make something out of a busted play and instead ran into stud O-lineman Brandon Moore.
