Clay Martin, head referee for the Week 5 clash between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, added to the NFL referee blooper reel on Sunday.
While trying to tell the audience that quarterback Josh Allen had stepped out of bounds before fumbling late in the first quarter, Martin fumbled himself:
“After crew discussion, the runner was out of bounds before he fumbled the basketball,” Martin said.
Basketball season is right around the corner, and with Martin currently serving as head coach for a high school varsity basketball program, the mistake is justified. But, the blooper will live on forever.
