Eric Decker returned punts for the Jets against the Giants

The annual meaningless game played for an even more meaningless trophy of Snoopy often sees its participants behaving like the dog’s owner.

Over the years, the annual preseason intra-stadium game between the Jets and Giants has led to some unusual decisions and unfortunate injuries, as detailed a year ago by Gary Myers of the New York Daily News. From former Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn tearing an ACL while returning a kickoff in 1998 to current Giants quarterback Eli Manning being made to look like an extra in The Walking Dead in 2010 to former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez suffering a season-ending shoulder injury that ended his career in New York, the teams all too often play the role of Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy’s football.
