Mark Sanchez has fun with Thomas Morstead after “butt punt”

Mark Sanchez still wants to be the king of wacky plays, so don’t mess with him.

Former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez certainly had an interesting NFL career, but let’s face it, most people will remember for one play and one play only: the butt fumble.

We all remember that Thanksgiving night in 2012 against the Patriots when Sanchez ran right into Brandon Moore, fumbled and returned for a touchdown by Patriots safety Steve Gregory. It’s one of the most infamous plays in sports, let alone football. It has its own Wikipedia page!

But that doesn’t mean he’s embarrassed by it. In fact, he’s almost embracing being the king of goofy plays because he joked on Twitter to Dolphins punter Thomas Morstead to “stay out of my lane bro”.

Morstead created the now-infamous “butt punt” during Sunday’s game against the Bills, kicking the ball right into the backside of Trent Sherfield and going out of the back of the end zone for a Bills safety.

Sanchez still wants to be the “king”, so to speak, but it was definitely all in good fun. Of course, Morstead got the last laugh because the Dolphins held on to beat the Bills. Even Sherfield took to Twitter to say his “cheeks have a big W tatted on them.”
