Malachi Corley DROPS BALL Before Goal Line for TOUCHBACK 😳 Jets vs Texans TNF Highlights

[@Yepsuredid]

This team is a comedy act. I swear they outdo themselves every single year.

[@arturobenavides6142]

Did they win?

[@sonic-qh7ed]

somehow they did i really didnt watch like most americans

[@briancarroll8124]

This has happened like 10x between college and pros in the last 10-15 years. Players still won’t learn

I bet way more than 10. And it happened 2 more times this past Sunday. Unbelievable to still be happening

[@discostu004]

Only thing they matters is they he looked super cool celebrating

[@jeremybrown9611]

They never learn

[@stormykeep9213]

Just take the Barry Sanders approach to scoring a touchdown...no fancy celebrations, just hang on to the ball and casually hand it back to the ref. You can't go wrong with that!

[@cardinalRG]

Very well said, and Sanders is a great example of composure and sportsmanship. In the 1988 Holiday Bow, he handed or tossed the ball to the referee after every one of his five touchdowns. In one instance, the referee dropped the ball, and Sanders bent down and retrieved it, and then handed it to the referee a second time! It was also a perfect illustration of the fact that the best players don't need to call attention to themselves, because their performances speak for themselves. Everyone knew that Sanders was the best player on the field, but you'd never have heard that from him, nor seen him showboating.

[@MichaelClifford-w2t]

That would have been his first career touchdown, too. I would have run through the back of the end zone still holding onto the ball.

When they actually learn.

[@marcd1981]

Most will learn, but there are always going to be those that do not. This happens every year in College and the NFL, everyone wants to "get views". Well, he's getting his views.

[@kevinsanders3630]

[@monkeyb1820]

just happened again today. But it's good that these guys got some good clowning done. That's more important than helping your team.

[@frankj1115]

Surprised it hasn't happened more than it has. Some of these clowns are thinking about the celebration dance before getting in the end zone. Of all the teams that have made bone head plays, one would think this team would keep their heads down and try to put together a game without the stupid mistakes.

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

Not just the Jets... ""The mistake was reminiscent of DeSean Jackson’s gaffe while he was a rookie with Philadelphia during a “Monday Night Football” game in the 2008 season. He celebrated a touchdown against Dallas prematurely by flipping the football behind him at the 1-yard line before he got into the end zone."

[@TheSpicyLeg]

Jackson was lucky though. He fumbled backwards and the ball sat at the 1 yard line without any Cowboys player touching it. So while Jackson lost the TD, Philadelphia retained possession with a first and goal. Fumbling it out of the end zone is much worse, not only was the touchdown reversed, but the New Jersey Jets lost possession too.

[@JLee-rt6ve]

Crusader to Indiana Jones: He chose Corley.

[@MetalHeadJagger]

So Far This Year We Got 3 Victims Of Desean Jackson Dropping the ball before crossing Goal Line Jonathan Taylor,Malachi Corley and Jordan Battle To The Slaw Yall Go 😂😂😂 I Don't get Why This Keeps Happening i mean it's the most embarrassing thing To Do as a Football Player

[@Tuck600]

I don’t understand why anybody who’s clearly about to score a touchdown would think to just drop the ball literally right before they cross the line?? Like wtf. Goes through your head instead of just hugging the ball tightly for a few more steps ??😂😂

[@cardinalRG]

The problem is that they're thinking about showboating at all, instead of having their heads 100% in the game. It's something that coaches refuse to manage these days.

[@bonek350]

Amazingly, this happens at least once a year in ncaa. Not in the NFL, however.

[@alexarmstrong578]

He never heard, “act like you’ve been there”. I can’t stand this new generation of athletes 🤮

[@cardinalRG]

Well said, and the "act like you've been there before" is a cardinal principle of composure and sportsmanship. But here's another adage that I like, and which should be taught to all players: _You score with your hips._

[@grayfullbusterchannel2694]

DeSean Jackson: Thats my boy!

[@bryansummers3219]

How did no one on the field or on the Texas sidelines seem to notice it when it happened? There were like 5 Texas players chasing him when he dropped the ball. Did none of them think that just maybe he dropped it a little early?

[@steveaustin2686]

It rolled onto the back line, so was considered a touchback, Texans ball. If it had stopped before the back line and no one touched it, the Jets would get it on the 1. So whenever someone drops a ball in the endzone near the goalline, the defense should pick it up just in case.

[@ROMBomb001]

Dumbest way to celebrate a touchdown. Bring back the classic ball spike.

[@cardinalRG]

I'll do one better--bring back the practice of handing the ball to the referee after scoring, every time. Problem solved.

[@jonathanwilson9679]

You finna be benched for that

[@SuperLordHawHaw]

Well one thing is certain Corley will NEVER drop a ball again. Trauma will do that to you.

[@biaggiwins]

Never say never.

[@cardinalRG]

@@biaggiwins --Exactly. As long as the showboating urge remains, then such mistakes are repeatable.

[@suporma-suporma]

he's got three recs for 16 yards in 8 games and ZERO TDs. Can't drop the ball if you're out of the league, smart.

[@reginaldconyers4690]

😂😂😂

[@matthewhiggins1574]

Where's the pylon footage. Its stupid as hell but im not convinced it was out of his control before crossing the goaline. I dont see clear and obvious evidence.

[@suporma-suporma]

1:10 isn't clear enough? the ball is rotating like a turd coming out his ass at the half yard mark between 1 and goal line. It's basically 'fumbled' at that point, loss of possession starts there.

[@RandytheTechGuy-so4uy]

This is stupid when it happens in college. This is monumentally idiotic in the pros.

[@cardinalRG]

So long as showboating thrives, we'll see this kind of idiocy. In my view, it's not an execution error, but one that stems from the urge to showboat in the first place. The solution is simple, but no team has the guts to implement it: hand the ball to the referee after scoring, every time. This used to be taught to players, back when composure and sportsmanship were emphasized.

[@vspenceful]

I have seen other players drop the ball as soon as they pass goal line. Is this a "drop the mic" type of thing? It always looks needless

[@cardinalRG]

It's showboating, and self-glorification. Poor sportsmanship too.

[@LJgoated]

Blud got to confident 😂💀

[@heavyizthacrown-5842]

Being confident doesn’t make you drop the ball before you cross the goal line, genius.

[@LJgoated]

@ yes it does. He thought he went crazy and he’d try to celebrate and he did it too early. Genius

[@HowardThompson-ux7kf]

Why why why? What is the point? Why is this a flex?

[@cardinalRG]

Because in the modern era of showboating, sportsmanship has been thrown out the window and instead players are compelled to self-glorify. Their heads aren't sufficiently in the game.

[@beakt]

Well, that was stupid and unnecessary.

[@cardinalRG]

Showboating always is.

[@sonic-qh7ed]

jets being jets. lol.

[@Bennjammin]

Even if it is a cool move, why in the F do they always do it before the endzone?

[@cardinalRG]

Because the act of showboating pulls the player's mind out of the game.

[@sirsmooth7]

Just like the Yankees.

[@TheSteveGainesRockBand]

Showboating for no good reason.

[@cardinalRG]

Exactly. Of course, there's never a _good_ reason to showboat, in my view.

No one should be at mad at him. He’s a rookie. There’s no way possible way they don’t make a mistake like that. I don’t know how to avoid that mishap from happening

[@smoothpants]

He's not a FOOTBALL rookie. He should know better. If he did not know this, then ALL of his coaches at every level that he's played at... were and are negligent.

[@marcd1981]

Actually him being a rookie is the main reason this should never have happened. Being a rookie means you play the game the way it should be played, and not acting like a fool looking for internet views. One thing is to have someone run into you and cause a fumble, or you run a route incorrectly because you're still learning the playbook. But for the simple act of carrying the ball into the end zone when no one touched him, that should never have happened.

[@lanesekavec6140]

You don’t make a “mistake” like that by not being an idiot showoff. He wanted to be Mr Cool and it cost him. He deserves every bit of shame he gets.
