While the Miami Dolphins ended up beating the Buffalo Bills 21-19 on Sunday, the result was very much in doubt late in the fourth quarter.
After the Bills turned the ball over on downs inside Miami’s 5-yard line. The Dolphins’ offense wasn’t able to move the ball at all. They wound up facing a fourth down at their own 1-yard line.
This meant veteran punter Thomas Morstead was going to have to attempt a punt with much less space than he’s used to. On the attempt, Morstead’s kick hit protector Trent Sherfield in the rear end and went out of bounds for a safety.
While fans on social media were quick to dub the play a “Butt Safety,” former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez, who became infamous for his “Butt Fumble,” was quick to respond.
Woah… stay out of my lane bro @thomasmorstead 🤪 #NFL https://t.co/O5ZKUgmSNl

That’s some great humility from Sanchez to joke about his career lowlight. Surely, this is one that Morstead would like to forget as well.
