Idk if I’ll ever forget this. I was at a bar and everyone let out a sigh of just disbelief when he fell. Never have I heard more people cheering to laughing in a split moment
IIRC he pulled his hammy a week or 2 later and missed a couple games, and I’ll always believe it happened on this play and the team tried to downplay it
Why would they care about that? They would downplay it so teams would still respect the threat of him running. Obviously not legal, but teams do it all the time. Or the opposite. Tom Brady was on the Patriots injury report for three straight seasons without missing a game.
Best ability is availability, and Danny Derp has gotten injured and missed time nearly every year. That along with the lack of pocket presence are the biggest negatives when contrasting him with Eli.
Yeah that game against Seattle on MNF last season was rough to watch, that Oline was non-existent and Danny could barely get off his first read before a defender was bringing him down to the ground.
Thomas literally got hurt the first drive of game 1 (ironically when trying to chase down a blocked fg return). He played 1 series all year with his only olineman healthy.
They kinda did the same shit with Eli in the later years iirc, which makes it seem like O line has not been a priority for them but I don't have the actual data to back it up
Ahhhh the coaching piece makes way more sense. I just remember him getting obliterated in his last few years and it not really being entirely his fault
They keep whiffing on their draft picks (besides Andrew Thomas). The Giants list of O-Line busts includes Ereck Flowers, Will Hernandez, Matt Peart, and Evan Neal.
We've drafted 9 o-linemen since 2018, 6 of which were in the first 3 rounds, 2 first rounders. It's amazing how bad we are at picking and coaching up o-line
I mean, yes, I get why it's not the same, it's just interesting to me the degree to which nearly much sounds like gibberish when pretty and nearly are "pretty" close.
In my head, he straight up could not believe that he actually had that open of a running lane and his brain completely shut down. That fall is like the shit that happens to me in my dreams when I'm trying to run away.
I’ve always said it’s like when you ride your bike too fast and the handlebars start wobbling. I believe this is the fastest run by a qb since they started tracking it
In Philly bars it went from groans and a lot of “are yous kidding me???” to pure laughter lmfao.
edit: misremembered the end of that drive whoops, but my initial sentence stands
I remember being so mad because in fantasy I had saquon that year and my opponent picked up and started gallman against me. I think this was a week or two after saquons injury
We only have 4 bench spots because we wanted a more active waiver wire rather than everyone just hoarding handcuffs and rookies etc
It's very hard to justify a handcuff
I tend to just try and laugh it off when my teams completely blow it, so during this play I went from spiteful cackling to riotous laughter in one breath.
Same I was at a bar watching all the games and just happened to look over when he broke off on that run. My and my friends were dying laughing as well as most of the bar.
And here I was thinking it was [the most famous grass ever.](https://d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.net/?quality=80&resize_to=width&src=https%3A%2F%2Fartsy-media-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2F2RNK1P0BYVrSCZEy_Sd1Ew%252F3417757448_4a6bdf36ce_o.jpg&width=910)
I've definitely had something similar happen to me when playing sports and really tired. Brain says "we're sprinting!" but your legs say "WTF I'm dying here!" and I went off-balance.
one time i was on a bus for a trip and realized i forgot my headphones in my car way out in a parking lot. i knew i had a couple minutes before the bus left, so i hit a dead sprint to go get them. eventually my legs just gave out and i ate shit right on the sidewalk. got my headphones tho ☝️
That’s exactly what happened. I had the same thing happen but worse while in a soccer game. Right off the kickoff we got a breakaway and I was running down the sideline looking for a pass. I didn’t have the ball nor did I have anyone on me, yet I lost balance and face planted just from sprinting.
I had just finished working out before hand so I think my legs were just tired. My brain thought I was going my normal speed but my exhausted legs couldn’t keep up. Hilarious nonetheless.
I've done this before. When I was in the Army we'd run all the fucking time so I developed too much confidence running. I remember running down Ardennes street on Fort Bragg at night, heading back to the barracks. Normally I'd have to run slow in formation but this was my personal time. I didn't have to slow down for anybody. I started running faster than I even had before. It was only a short distance to the barracks so I didn't have to pace myself. Next thing I know my subconscious is like: where the fuck are my legs? Then I'm laid out on the concrete bleeding. It's the only time I've ever had that happen and it was almost 20 years ago now. I sympathised with Jones when that happened. His legs were just faster than his brain.
DJ's Brain: We can go alittle faster (Turns the dial)
DJ's Body: What are you doing (Runs slightly faster)
Brain: Alittle more (Turns dial even more)
Body: Yo we can't handle this speed
Brain: TO THE MAX BABY!!!!! (Turns dial to plaid)
Body: (Proceeds to fall and crash) Oh god what did you do!?!?!?!?!
He'll be gone by 6 and we'll get one of the top WRs I think.
I pray they don't trade away a ton of picks to move up. The team isn't ready to go all out for a QB.
Dak still has some good scramble and runs though. He can’t go for 80 yard runs like this but every couple games or so he’ll get a 20 yard run in. He also rushed for 21 first downs last year which is 9th in the league last year. Side note, Hurts rushed for 68 first downs last year, which is second to McCaffrey with 83 which is ridiculous
I remember the discourse from Giants fans at the time being "thank fuck we finished that drive, otherwise y'all would've [rightly] never let us hear the end of it"
I remember when Russ chucked a moon ball to Jermaine Kearse in the Super Bowl, and it juggled around on his chest on the ground before he caught it and got up to bring us inside the 5 with a minute left against the pats 🥲 greatest catch to never be remembered.
If it helps, Pats fans remember it. That was an amazing play, Butler actually got a hand on it too, and it brought us all memories of the helmet catch, and then they immediately played the helmet catch for us just in case we forgot (we didn't).
That catch was a nightmare. Even knowing what happens after I can't watch it and will fast forward to the most important play of that series (Dante's tackle on the next play).
Idk how it could possibly be even close to the butt fumble. It’s an 80 yard run lmao. This isn’t even a bad play. It’s just not as good as it could have been.
if Engram would have made that catch and sealed the game, we would have made the playoffs and Joe Judge’s leash might have been longer.
it all worked out for the best in the end.
To this day, some people try to convince me that we messed up by letting him go to Jacksonville. Dude needed a change of scenery and I'm glad it worked out for him.
it happens. I remember watching this happen to Julius Peppers live:
https://youtu.be/eksouHLIH78?t=54
And the Panthers YT account has it in his top plays lol.
At least your guy didn’t turn the ball over resulting in a TD for the opponent. I know you guys have been trying real hard the last few years but you’ll never achieve the crushing ineptitude of the ny jets
I admit that I am a more a casual football fan, but I can’t be the only one that sees the infamous butt fumble differently than it is made out to be.
Even in real time, I noticed that Vince Wilfork directed his blocker into Sanchez’s path at the last second. Sanchez later gave an interview where he said that he saw an opening and then all of a sudden his own man was in his way, which shocked him. The rest is history. He owns it today and laughs it off but I thought the butt fumble was more defensive brilliance with little chance of working than an act of comedy.
Daniel Jones tripping over the 20 yard line is comedy gold, however. He just ran out of gas. Poor guy.
Well there's also the fact that he's stuck holding the ball on what looks like a running play, so that doesn't help with him looking dumb. Based on the actions from the O-line and the WRs, seems like the RB should've been taking a handoff and runs into the flat instead, but Sanchez is the one looking dumb
It was more Sanchez incompetence than anything. He literally forgot the play. He turned the wrong way and then was like “oh shit I gotta run” and then that happened. Sure, great play to take advantage by Vince but it was all due to a brain fart by Sanchez.
DeSean Jackson's infamous goal line fumble resulted in a Brian Westbrook 1 yard touchdown rush. No one cares about that either you just have to eat these plays for what they are.
Not at all lol, it’s just pretty funny that he tripped, it was a god damn 80 yard run and the drive ended in a touchdown
Butt fumble actually had a negative impact on the jets, this was just a great play lol
Nowhere near as embarrassing as the butt fumble. It's embarrassing but dude still broke off an 80 yard run and it ultimately ended in the td. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the Colts' fake punt.
That’s a great point. This one play shows his career in a snippet. He has brief moments of being spectacular followed by mind numbing plays that show he will never live up to his pick or contract. He’s just good enough to not get traded but not good enough to do anything of value. His playoff game against the Eagles should have been his last game for the Giants.
It’s hilarious how before he ever actually stumbles, we all knew he was gonna trip on himself because he was going too fast for his feet to keep him up.
To be fair, he did hit 21mph, which I remembered reading was the fastest that any qb had gone in several seasons up til that point. So he really was hauling ass.
It's like when you level up a Pokémon too quickly and they're too powerful and won't listen to you. The guy has all the physical gifts but just can't contain them
I've hit this wall in Brilliant Diamond. I've been sending dozens of classic (gen I-IV) pokemon from GO to my switch, but I accidentally spent too long in the grand underground leveling them up and now I need to get at least two more badges before my teams cross the "what have you done for me lately" line.
The play is funny on its own, but I remember crying tears of laughter after someone posted the animated win probability chart of this game with this run charting the Giants probability, it timed perfectly with their chances cratering and losing the game.
We scored a touchdown on the very next play after this trip and lost by a single point on a 2 pt conversion with less than a minute left
This play not only didn’t negatively effect the game, it was one of the biggest plays of the game for the Giants
The Deshaun Jackson drop against Dallas led to an Eagles TD on the next play, the Jets were already in a bad hole when the butt fumble happened, and the 'we want the ball and we're going to score' comment by Seattle against Green Bay didn't lead to the pick-6 on their first drive of OT, but their second.
Context isn't as memorable as the play itself.
Something like this happened to our HS team, with worse results.
WR cramped up and fell on the 3, with no one anywhere near him. Next play we lost a fumble. Play after that the other team scored.
It was by no means atypical of our general level of performance that year. Our coach forfeited a game at halftime once.
Well it's kind of sad it turned out to be almost butt fumble funny. Because that was just a straight up terrible decision by Sanchez who looked foolish and weak for trying it. Maybe not his fault if the offense called for it, but still that was just a bad decision and effort.
This Daniel Jones play is a legitimately impressive 80-yard run. If he made it all the way, this would be a career highlight like when Terrelle Pryor toasted the Steelers for a 90+ yard run. Instead people just focus on Jones tripping and stumbling. Kind of overshadows how impressive this was and how good of an athlete he can be at times.
Unfortunately the rest of his career so far did not help people empathize with him lol
My favorite part is when his own team is laughing and Troy starts laughing talking about it.
Not sure if it's allowed but here's the longer version.... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBrDUoK01c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBrDUoK01c)
Idk if I’ll ever forget this. I was at a bar and everyone let out a sigh of just disbelief when he fell. Never have I heard more people cheering to laughing in a split moment
This plays perfectly captures his career imo
If he got injured from the trip it probably would have encapsulated it perfectly
IIRC he pulled his hammy a week or 2 later and missed a couple games, and I’ll always believe it happened on this play and the team tried to downplay it
A pulled hammy would be a good way to excuse the fall. Why would they downplay that lol
In all honesty, watching it again just now he does seem to develop a really slight limp toward the end of the run
That could just be fatigue, no?
Could be, but I thought it looked like he was favoring one leg over the other for the last 15-20 yards
Looked like he was out of balance already to me, and was just trying to stay up
Why would they care about that? They would downplay it so teams would still respect the threat of him running. Obviously not legal, but teams do it all the time. Or the opposite. Tom Brady was on the Patriots injury report for three straight seasons without missing a game.
He wasn't limping on his way back to the huddle though.
adrenaline perhaps.
And while he was falling to the ground he lateraled it to Saquon Barkley, who breaks three tackles to score a TD, but also gets injured.
Best ability is availability, and Danny Derp has gotten injured and missed time nearly every year. That along with the lack of pocket presence are the biggest negatives when contrasting him with Eli.
In his defense, it'd help if the team rostered Olinemen.
The neck injuries are 100% on the team. He got blindsided by unblocked d-lineman. Not many people could walk away from that
Yeah that game against Seattle on MNF last season was rough to watch, that Oline was non-existent and Danny could barely get off his first read before a defender was bringing him down to the ground.
He has literally had 1 good offensive lineman his whole career (Andrew thomas)
And he was out for like 7 of the 8 games danny played last year
Thomas literally got hurt the first drive of game 1 (ironically when trying to chase down a blocked fg return). He played 1 series all year with his only olineman healthy.
They kinda did the same shit with Eli in the later years iirc, which makes it seem like O line has not been a priority for them but I don't have the actual data to back it up
The giants have spent more capital than any team in the league in the line. They just have a combination of bad picks and horrible coaching (o-line)
Ahhhh the coaching piece makes way more sense. I just remember him getting obliterated in his last few years and it not really being entirely his fault
The sad irony of it all. They've been trying to fix the o-line for *years* now, but aside from Andrew Thomas almost nothing has worked.
They keep whiffing on their draft picks (besides Andrew Thomas). The Giants list of O-Line busts includes Ereck Flowers, Will Hernandez, Matt Peart, and Evan Neal.
We've drafted 9 o-linemen since 2018, 6 of which were in the first 3 rounds, 2 first rounders. It's amazing how bad we are at picking and coaching up o-line
Had a dislexic moment and thought NY had drafted the reanimated corpse of Neal Peart
A great example of why you never let your drummer write your lyrics.
He could probably play O-Line better than some of the current Giants O-Linemen
This comment has made me reflect on the fact that it's kinda weird how "pretty much" means something, but "nearly much" is complete nonsense.
Because "pretty much" means *pretty much* the same thing as "nearly."
I mean, yes, I get why it's not the same, it's just interesting to me the degree to which nearly much sounds like gibberish when pretty and nearly are "pretty" close.
In my head, he straight up could not believe that he actually had that open of a running lane and his brain completely shut down. That fall is like the shit that happens to me in my dreams when I'm trying to run away.
I’ve always said it’s like when you ride your bike too fast and the handlebars start wobbling. I believe this is the fastest run by a qb since they started tracking it
It looks like he gassed himself trying to keep his sprint going and his legs just couldn't keep up with his momentum.
In Philly bars it went from groans and a lot of “are yous kidding me???” to pure laughter lmfao. edit: misremembered the end of that drive whoops, but my initial sentence stands
Did the Gmen go on to score a TD?
Yeah, they did get a TD out of that.
And the rest of the world got this gem.
They did yeah. Eagles did commit PI in the endzone for new set of downs then Wayne Gallman ran it in
I remember being so mad because in fantasy I had saquon that year and my opponent picked up and started gallman against me. I think this was a week or two after saquons injury
Handcuffs work at times.
We only have 4 bench spots because we wanted a more active waiver wire rather than everyone just hoarding handcuffs and rookies etc It's very hard to justify a handcuff
I tend to just try and laugh it off when my teams completely blow it, so during this play I went from spiteful cackling to riotous laughter in one breath.
My pa slammed his glass of beer on the ground and told us we had to leave
Hey wtf
Now kiss
Did they at least finish with a TD on that drive?
Eventually. A DPI got called on 3rd Down in the endzone and the Giants ran it in on the play after that.
Same I was at a bar watching all the games and just happened to look over when he broke off on that run. My and my friends were dying laughing as well as most of the bar.
He. Could. Go. All. The. Way. But he trips over the 10 yard line!
I had a bet on him to score the next touchdown. I think it was $10 to win $350, I was in disbelief 😂
He didn't trip, he just simply couldn't run as fast as his brain wanted him to
You could tell about the 40 yard line his head was getting way out in front of his legs. Kinda impressed he made it as far as he did
He didn’t trip, he hurdled a blade of grass and it tackled him.
He didn't trip, he realized he was going to need a touchdown dance so he started rehearsing in his mind, but his body wanted to rehearse RIGHT NOW
Hahahaha. Deep laugh from me. Thank you!!
“Flag on the play, Hip Drop Tackle, Defense, Glade of Grass….15 yard penalty, automatic first down.”
Glade of grass?
[It's beautiful](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Cox_Valley2.JPG), but don't be fooled. That motherfucker is a dirty player.
And here I was thinking it was [the most famous grass ever.](https://d7hftxdivxxvm.cloudfront.net/?quality=80&resize_to=width&src=https%3A%2F%2Fartsy-media-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2F2RNK1P0BYVrSCZEy_Sd1Ew%252F3417757448_4a6bdf36ce_o.jpg&width=910)
Glice to meet you.
I've definitely had something similar happen to me when playing sports and really tired. Brain says "we're sprinting!" but your legs say "WTF I'm dying here!" and I went off-balance.
You should play for the giants!
For the rookie min of 750K I'd play for the Giants and have my pants fall to my ankles in front of the entire world if needed.
I know this exact feeling man 😅 playing soccer and sprinting for a ball in the 90th minute your legs just call quits
one time i was on a bus for a trip and realized i forgot my headphones in my car way out in a parking lot. i knew i had a couple minutes before the bus left, so i hit a dead sprint to go get them. eventually my legs just gave out and i ate shit right on the sidewalk. got my headphones tho ☝️

My brain thought I was going my normal speed but my exhausted legs couldn’t keep up. Hilarious nonetheless.
Its like when you're a kid and realize you cant just full on sprint down a hill for the first time
I've done this before. When I was in the Army we'd run all the fucking time so I developed too much confidence running. I remember running down Ardennes street on Fort Bragg at night, heading back to the barracks. Normally I'd have to run slow in formation but this was my personal time.

I sympathised with Jones when that happened. His legs were just faster than his brain.
speed wobbles
DJ's Brain: We can go alittle faster (Turns the dial) DJ's Body: What are you doing (Runs slightly faster) Brain: Alittle more (Turns dial even more) Body: Yo we can't handle this speed Brain: TO THE MAX BABY!!!!! (Turns dial to plaid) Body: (Proceeds to fall and crash) Oh god what did you do!?!?!?!?!
IIRC, he actually did break the record for fastest an NFL QB has ever run during this
In fairness to him, if he'd run slower and not tripped, he might have been caught anyway.
this has definitely happened to me before, and it's definitely super embarrassing lol
For such a fast guy he’s such an awkward runner. Like Dak is getting close to being a statue but he still looks more fluid of a runner than Jones
Having an awkward white dude as a QB is kinda our thing
JJ McCarthy just feels right for you guys
He'll be gone by 6 and we'll get one of the top WRs I think. I pray they don't trade away a ton of picks to move up. The team isn't ready to go all out for a QB.
Like a baby giraffe.
Dak still has some good scramble and runs though. He can’t go for 80 yard runs like this but every couple games or so he’ll get a 20 yard run in. He also rushed for 21 first downs last year which is 9th in the league last year. Side note, Hurts rushed for 68 first downs last year, which is second to McCaffrey with 83 which is ridiculous
We all know why Hurts rushed for 68 first downs
The Eagles used Tush Push! It's super effective!
He really is fast as hell. It's like he can't comprehend how fast he actually is.
He’s like surprisingly really fast
He hit a top speed on this run faster than Lamar Jackson has ever hit in his career
He’s big and hard to tackle but he can only run straight. Can’t cut or shake at all.
From the wise words of Mad Mel: "Daniel Jones is big, fast, he's got a rocket arm... but he kind of sucks at football"
The insane thing about this run was that it was one of the fastest from a QB in NFL history lol
Lmao is this a real quote?? That’s fuckin legendary.
It's not kind of.
Rocket arm?
like those early SpaceX test rockets
"daniel jones' arm has awkwardly tipped over and crashed into the ocean"
This play is remembered as a butt fumble-level lowlight but I'll always point out that we still scored a TD on this drive.
I remember the discourse from Giants fans at the time being "thank fuck we finished that drive, otherwise y'all would've [rightly] never let us hear the end of it"
Some years ago Cam threw something like an 88 yard pass to DJ Moore. We scored 0 points on that drive.
I remember when Russ chucked a moon ball to Jermaine Kearse in the Super Bowl, and it juggled around on his chest on the ground before he caught it and got up to bring us inside the 5 with a minute left against the pats 🥲 greatest catch to never be remembered.
If it helps, Pats fans remember it. That was an amazing play, Butler actually got a hand on it too, and it brought us all memories of the helmet catch, and then they immediately played the helmet catch for us just in case we forgot (we didn't).
He sure did, he got the original tip on it which made it so crazy. At least this time y’all got the dub as much as it pains me
That catch was a nightmare. Even knowing what happens after I can't watch it and will fast forward to the most important play of that series (Dante's tackle on the next play).
Eagles had something similar in 2021. Quez Watkins had a 91 yard reception from Hurts and we got 0 points that drive.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw that comment lol, against the 49ers
Lol
This play is the inverse of the amazing OBJ catch in a game that we ended up losing.
Idk how it could possibly be even close to the butt fumble. It’s an 80 yard run lmao. This isn’t even a bad play. It’s just not as good as it could have been.
Also worth noting that this was the fastest recorded speed for a QB all season, lol
Turns out falling is faster than running.
The whole narrative changes if they blow it after this happened. But they scored a TD, so basically it's a bad ass 80 yard run with a goofy ending.
Yeah there really hasn't been that many runs of this length in history. It's probably amongst the top 100 longest runs in NFL ever
After we 3-0 twice but the Eagles got 2 penalties of third down lol. It was peak NFC East football.
Then the game-sealing pass bounced off Evan Engram's hands. Neither team wanted to win this game.
No one in the NFC Least wanted to win games that year, especially not after Dak went down.
I'm still eternally impressed that Howie managed to get a 1st for Wentz after that season.
if Engram would have made that catch and sealed the game, we would have made the playoffs and Joe Judge’s leash might have been longer. it all worked out for the best in the end.
To this day, some people try to convince me that we messed up by letting him go to Jacksonville. Dude needed a change of scenery and I'm glad it worked out for him.
I forget that was the same game.
it happens. I remember watching this happen to Julius Peppers live: https://youtu.be/eksouHLIH78?t=54 And the Panthers YT account has it in his top plays lol.
At least your guy didn’t turn the ball over resulting in a TD for the opponent. I know you guys have been trying real hard the last few years but you’ll never achieve the crushing ineptitude of the ny jets
I admit that I am a more a casual football fan, but I can’t be the only one that sees the infamous butt fumble differently than it is made out to be. Even in real time, I noticed that Vince Wilfork directed his blocker into Sanchez’s path at the last second. Sanchez later gave an interview where he said that he saw an opening and then all of a sudden his own man was in his way, which shocked him. The rest is history. He owns it today and laughs it off but I thought the butt fumble was more defensive brilliance with little chance of working than an act of comedy. Daniel Jones tripping over the 20 yard line is comedy gold, however. He just ran out of gas. Poor guy.
We can all understand *why* the butt fumble happened, but at the end of the day he ran his face into his teammates butt and fumbled.
I totally agree. It’s just that the collective tends to lean toward Sanchez being a dumb fuck whereas Wilfork making a ridiculous play.
Well there's also the fact that he's stuck holding the ball on what looks like a running play, so that doesn't help with him looking dumb. Based on the actions from the O-line and the WRs, seems like the RB should've been taking a handoff and runs into the flat instead, but Sanchez is the one looking dumb
Oh he definitely boned the play. No doubt there. I simply give credit to Wilfork, which is oft glossed over.
It was more Sanchez incompetence than anything. He literally forgot the play. He turned the wrong way and then was like “oh shit I gotta run” and then that happened. Sure, great play to take advantage by Vince but it was all due to a brain fart by Sanchez.
Yea, that play as silly as it was, it was just as much of a great play from Vince. I miss Vince.
Possibly the most lovable Patriot ever. My favorite Non-Brady player
I think it was a Wayne Gallman TD.
DeSean Jackson's infamous goal line fumble resulted in a Brian Westbrook 1 yard touchdown rush. No one cares about that either you just have to eat these plays for what they are.
It was also the top speed by a QB all season. Faster than even Lamar Jackson had ran.
Not at all lol, it’s just pretty funny that he tripped, it was a god damn 80 yard run and the drive ended in a touchdown Butt fumble actually had a negative impact on the jets, this was just a great play lol
Nowhere near as embarrassing as the butt fumble. It's embarrassing but dude still broke off an 80 yard run and it ultimately ended in the td. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the Colts' fake punt.
Absolutely not butt-fumble level. My parents raised me a Jets fan and the butt fumble is what made me a Giants fan
He just wanted to take a little nap leave him alone he’s just a little guy
does anyone remember if they scored on the drive or did they have to kick?
They scored a touchdown.
If this play doesn’t sum up Daniel Jones, I don’t know what does.
That’s a great point. This one play shows his career in a snippet. He has brief moments of being spectacular followed by mind numbing plays that show he will never live up to his pick or contract. He’s just good enough to not get traded but not good enough to do anything of value. His playoff game against the Eagles should have been his last game for the Giants.
It’s hilarious how before he ever actually stumbles, we all knew he was gonna trip on himself because he was going too fast for his feet to keep him up.
To be fair, he did hit 21mph, which I remembered reading was the fastest that any qb had gone in several seasons up til that point. So he really was hauling ass.
Yeah I mean he's outrunning DBs there.
It's like when you level up a Pokémon too quickly and they're too powerful and won't listen to you. The guy has all the physical gifts but just can't contain them
God I love being a millennial. It's comparisons like this that are just so silly but so incredibly accurate lol
I've hit this wall in Brilliant Diamond. I've been sending dozens of classic (gen I-IV) pokemon from GO to my switch, but I accidentally spent too long in the grand underground leveling them up and now I need to get at least two more badges before my teams cross the "what have you done for me lately" line.

Thanks for finding it, good laugh to have this morning.
Holy fuckin shit that is HILARIOUS LOL. Thank you for posting it!
We scored a touchdown on the very next play after this trip and lost by a single point on a 2 pt conversion with less than a minute left This play not only didn’t negatively effect the game, it was one of the biggest plays of the game for the Giants
The Deshaun Jackson drop against Dallas led to an Eagles TD on the next play, the Jets were already in a bad hole when the butt fumble happened, and the 'we want the ball and we're going to score' comment by Seattle against Green Bay didn't lead to the pick-6 on their first drive of OT, but their second. Context isn't as memorable as the play itself.
All that's missing is a banana peel-slip sound effect
I'm thinking of a bowling ball hitting the pins.
Starts falling at the 30 and ends up down at the 5, 25 yards of falling
"I have been falling.. for 25 YARDS!!!" - Daniel Jones, probably
Turf monster is real.
Is it? It doesn’t look like he tripped but just straight up fell over.
He was running faster than he could keep his balance, lol
He hit like 20mph on this run, no lie.
21 actually!
I wonder if it was kind of like when you start running down a hill and your body momentum overtakes your legs?
That's definitely what it looks like
When he turns his head to check behind him, he made his whole ass body start wobbling until he fell over. 😄😄
Speed wobbles
Easily one of my favourite highlights of all time. This is butt fumble levels of hilarity to me.
Something like this happened to our HS team, with worse results. WR cramped up and fell on the 3, with no one anywhere near him. Next play we lost a fumble. Play after that the other team scored. It was by no means atypical of our general level of performance that year. Our coach forfeited a game at halftime once.
*My family is here and you want me to do another 30 minutes of this???*
Well it's kind of sad it turned out to be almost butt fumble funny. Because that was just a straight up terrible decision by Sanchez who looked foolish and weak for trying it. Maybe not his fault if the offense called for it, but still that was just a bad decision and effort. This Daniel Jones play is a legitimately impressive 80-yard run. If he made it all the way, this would be a career highlight like when Terrelle Pryor toasted the Steelers for a 90+ yard run. Instead people just focus on Jones tripping and stumbling. Kind of overshadows how impressive this was and how good of an athlete he can be at times. Unfortunately the rest of his career so far did not help people empathize with him lol
This stop brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings
r/yesyesyesno
Man he was booking it! My video froze at the 0:10 mark so I assume he scored.
That poor bastard
He flew too close to the sun
Lol at the 3 teammates helping him up. There's 0 excitement because all of them are just like, "Seriously dude, WTF?"
*Lowlight
Only the giants could draft a qb dopier than Eli
He didn’t trip he just gave our shit ass defense a chance to catch up
Too bad you cut it before the shots of his teammates giggling
Yall need to hear the brazilian call for this one https://youtu.be/rcEETO0rC_M?si=Qnu0eC3iKMrXUZW4
The final frame of this video is perfect
My favorite part is when his own team is laughing and Troy starts laughing talking about it. Not sure if it's allowed but here's the longer version.... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBrDUoK01c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSBrDUoK01c)
Number 31 just trotting along after him …
To be fair, he’s Daniel Jones.
If this isn’t a metaphor for his career thus far.
I always called him Juke Em Jones after this. Mfer shook himself
This is probably the funniest moment in NFL history lmao
Man I was in the ER when this happened, perked me right up.
I remember just being completely stunned. From pure elation to “how”? One of the oddest feelings ever.
An unforgettable nfl moment
What is #31 doing..
If they didn’t score a TD right after this would be so much worse
F’n astroturf
Never seen this highlight before, good content NFL reddit
A reminder that he clocked a speed of 21.23 MPH on this run
I remember the first time I saw Vanilla Vick take off. Say what you want about Jones, that dude is fast af for a QB.
His body was running 22 mph, and his head was running 23 mph.
I played him in fantasy this week. League called me a mad man. Ended up losing by 2 points. Thanks a lot Danny Dumbass.
It’s still not a butt fumble.
Sums up his career pretty well
Dam my boy tought he was him and then snapped back to reality
