THE STORY
On November 22, 2012, during a Thanksgiving Day game at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez collided with the backside of his offensive lineman, Brandon Moore, causing a fumble. The New England Patriots' safety Steve Gregory recovered the ball and returned it 32 yards for a touchdown. This play was part of a disastrous second quarter where the Jets lost three fumbles, leading to a 49–19 loss to the Patriots. (en.wikipedia.org)
