When will they learn?
Add Malachi Corley of the New York Jets to the list of players who decided to celebrate before crossing the goal line.
In the second quarter of Thursday’s game with the Houston Texans, Corley took the ball from Aaron Rodgers and sauntered to paydirt.
The problem was he decided to get cocky and drop the football as he neared the goal line.
The play was called a touchdown on the field but upon review, vidthe eo showed Corley had dropped the ball before scoring.
What we thought was a Jets TD… is a touchback! Houston ball 😳#HOUvsNYJ on Prime Video

The football made its way out of the back of the end zone and instead of the Jets having six points and the lead, the Texans had the football thanks to a touchback.
Corley had one reception for four yards entering the game. Don’t blame the coaching staff for failing to teach him to hold on to the football until you score.
A gaffe.
How are ppl still doing this!?
