The New England Patriots will play on Thanksgiving this year for the first time in a decade. Their last game on the holiday was … memorable, to say the least.
Tuesday marked the 10th anniversary of one of the most infamous lowlights in NFL history: New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez running straight into the backside of offensive lineman Brandon Moore, causing a fumble that safety Steve Gregory returned for a touchdown.
Or, as it quickly became known, the Butt Fumble.
Gregory’s score was part of an avalanche of Patriots points that quickly turned that 2012 matchup between AFC East rivals into a rout.
