Mark Sanchez on 'butt fumble': 'It sucked, I ran into some guy's butt'
The last time Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez played on Thanksgiving produced the lowlight of his career: the infamous "butt fumble." But Sanchez redeemed himself this Thanksgiving, leading the Eagles (9-3) to a convincing, 33-10 win over the Cowboys to move into first place in the NFC East.
After the game, Sanchez reflected on his moment of viral fame.
"I mean, it sucked," he said, according to Philly.com. "I ran into some guy's butt and dropped the ball on the turf, and they scored. It's like my favorite holiday. It's not cool. That was really a bummer. But the game plan was 'Try not to do that,' and we accomplished it."
