Remembering the Butt Fumble game

[n1997y]

Saw this nice story about Steve Gregory reminiscing about scoring with the Butt Fumble, and it is worth remembering that game for this whole sequence of plays not just the Butt Fumble. I’d forgotten just how Jetes that whole thing was. What a sequence:

Jets fumble, recovered by Patriots
83 yd Patriots TD
touchback
11 yd Jets pass
Butt Fumble, Pats TD
Jets fumble kickoff, Patriots scoop and score.

I have that game saved and watch that sequence on Thanksgiving every now and then. Happy times

Speaking of 'butt fumble'

The Patriots are not just the only team in NFL history to score three touchdowns in less than a minute - they have done it twice.

​

Remarkably the Pats were able to score three TD that quickly despite the Bears taking time to run four plays (three and out).

So weird, that it is weird, seeing a wedge on the return.

This makes me a bad, bad person but I took special amusement watching the Bear DL injure himself after the sack

Well, he was smiling on the cart so even he wasn't worried about it. I think that absolves you.
