Mark Sanchez jokingly takes exception with Thomas Morstead’s safety

While the Miami Dolphins ended up beating the Buffalo Bills 21-19 on Sunday, the result was very much in doubt late in the fourth quarter.

After the Bills turned the ball over on downs inside Miami’s 5-yard line. The Dolphins’ offense wasn’t able to move the ball at all. They wound up facing a fourth down at their own 1-yard line.

This meant veteran punter Thomas Morstead was going to have to attempt a punt with much less space than he’s used to. On the attempt, Morstead’s kick hit protector Trent Sherfield in the rear end and went out of bounds for a safety.

While fans on social media were quick to dub the play a “Butt Safety,” former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez, who became infamous for his “Butt Fumble,” was quick to respond.

That’s some great humility from Sanchez to joke about his career lowlight. Surely, this is one that Morstead would like to forget as well.
