Jets’ C.J. Mosley attempted a flying tackle before the snap on easily the funniest offsides penalty

Jets CJ Mosley Dawson Knox Bills NFL

Even when the New York Jets manage to put together a successful season, they still find ways to remind everyone that they’re the Jets.

The Jets defense had themselves a dominant first half against Josh Allen and the Bills on Sunday, holding Buffalo scoreless until the final drive of the half. And really, the Jets had an opportunity to stop the Bills on fourth down. But C.J. Mosley just couldn’t help himself — the Jets in him took over.

In a pre-snap play that was almost certainly designed to draw a defender offsides, Bills tight end Dawson Knox went under center. And Mosley seemed certain he had a read on the snap count. About that …

Mosley went soaring over the line of scrimmage and took out Knox who had not taken the snap. Knox’s reaction told the whole story. He knew that they were never going to run a play there, and he was fired up that Mosley fell for it so badly.

The Bills ended up scoring on the drive to take a seven-point lead into halftime. Fans, of course, had jokes about the objectively hilarious offsides penalty.

This was how Twitter reacted

He’s going to hear about that one for a long time.
