What a couple of days it's been for New York sports fans.
If you thought the drop from Aaron Judge in the World Series was bad, well, the stakes might not have been as high in the Jets game, but talk about a misplay of the year.
New York Jets rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley was well on his way to his first career touchdown, running to the corner of the endzone after a well-executed jet sweep. But with only green grass in front of him, the 22-year-old celebrated a tad too early and dropped the ball just out of touchdown range, channelling his inner DeSean Jackson.
Though originally ruled a score, the touchdown was overturned after a review deemed he dropped it inches too early.
It's been a mostly brutal year for the Jets, and there might not be a play this season more symbolic of their ability to continually step on their own toes.
Appropriately, the football world exploded at the instantly-classic blunder, from a collective facepalm all across the tri-state area to AFC East foes revelling in mockery. Here are some of the best reactions from across social media.
However, give the Jets credit for how they responded.
After scoring zero points in the first half, the Jets (3-6) rallied to beat the Texans 21-13, keeping their season alive.
And after one of the most embarrassing plays you'll ever see, the Jets delivered one of the best plays you'll ever see on a touchdown catch by Garrett Wilson.
Wilson's catch brought back memories of a miraculous reception by former New York Giant Odell Beckham Jr.
