In the end, the New York Jets escaped victorious.
But for a moment, it looked like the team’s world was about to crumble (again) thanks to Malachi Corley’s error.
In a tied scoreless game against the Texans (6-3), the Jets (3-6) appeared to score first. Corley was crossing the goal line with the ball but made a huge error by dropping the pigskin before he broke the line.
The ball hit the ground and went out of the end zone. By rule, that’s a touchback and the ball was awarded to the Texans.
In the end, New York won 21-13. Even so, head coach Jeff Ulbrich had plenty to say about Corley’s gaff. He explained what he told Corley.
“First of all, you can’t do that.,” Ulbrich said. “And second of all, You owe us one.”
It certain is a moment the rookie has to learn from and cannot let happen again.
For Ulbrich’s full reaction can be found below:
“First of all – you can’t do that. Second of all – you owe us one.”
