New York escaped with a win despite the rookie's game-changing turnover.
rookie receiver Malachi Corley found his name in the headlines for all the wrong reasons Thursday night in his team's 21–13 win over the. And since it went out of the back of the end zone, the Texans were awarded the ball at the 20-yard line on a touchback instead of the Jets taking a 7–0 lead.
After the Jets closed out their third win of the year, New York coach Jeff Ulbrich told reporters what he said to Corley after that potential game-changing miscue."First of all - you can't do that. Second of all - you owe us one."Corley didn't get another chance at redemption Thursday night. He played just six of New York's 58 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the passing game or handed the ball on another run.
Corley has just 22 total yards on two touches to start his career in a crowded Jets receiver room. But perhaps there will be an opportunity down the road for the rookie to redeem himself in New York. And if there is, Corley certainly will remember to hang on to the football well into the end zone.Tom Dierberger is a staff writer and editor on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
