Following his team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall admitted that he may have pulled the “worst play in NFL history.”

After catching a pass, Marshall attempted to pitch the ball behind him to a teammate — with Eagles defenders all over the place. The ball was fumbled and recovered by the Eagles. They went on to score, taking a 24-0 lead.
“Wrong time to gamble,” Marshall said, calling it a "bonehead" move. “I was pressing, trying to make a play, but can’t do that. That was probably. … worst play in NFL history.”
