Mark Sanchezās butt fumble will live on in infamy for decades, but we have a new entrant. The Dolphins submitted their own masterpiece on Sunday afternoon ā the butt-punt fumble. Yes, itās new and trendy.
The Dolphins would go on to win the game, but a safety didnāt make things any easier on their defense. It handed the ball back to the high-powered Bills offense needing only a field goal to take the late lead.
Thankfully for Miami, their defense was able to stand tall.
