‘As crazy as anything you’ll ever see’: NFL absurdity stuns America

America lost its collective mind on Saturday morning when a never before seen moment unfolded in the middle of an NFL game.

This NFL touchdown was mind-blowing.

The Jets better check their Black Friday return policy. They keep finding new lows to reach.

Trailing 10-6 with just two seconds left in the first half of their Black Friday matchup with the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium, Tim Boyle launched a Hail Mary from the Jets’ own 49-yard-line.

It somehow ended in yet another disaster.

Dolphins cornerback Jevon Holland intercepted the pass just in front of the end zone and returned it 99 yards for a hard-to-believe pick-six to close the second quarter.

“Can you believe this? That is insanity,” legendary NFL broadcaster Al Michaels said.

“That’s as crazy as anything you’ll ever see.”

After Jason Sanders’ extra point, Miami extended its lead to 17-6.

According to ESPN, it was the first pick-6 on a Hail Mary pass since at least 2006, when the outlet began tracking Hail Mary’s as a play type.

“If there was ever a play that embodied an entire season, this is it for the New York Jets,” Prime Video expert analyst Kirk Herbstreit said.

Holland travelled 124.4 yards on the play, the most distance travelled by a ball carrier on a scrimmage play this season, according to Next Gen Stats.

“That was unfortunate, we’ll get back up, get ready to play the second half,” Jets head coach Robert Saleh told Prime Video sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung on the broadcast.

It was as if the Holland Tunnel opened up in front of Holland, who was hardly even touched as he sprinted the length of the field.

He badly juked Boyle for his final act toward the end of his run before waltzing into the end zone.

“Typical Hail Mary,” Saleh said. “Give them credit, made the play. … Just unfortunate.”

The Jets changed quarterbacks but could not change the results.

They lost their fourth straight game, a 34-13 clunker to the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium.

It was the first-ever game on Black Friday, but the Jets still could not buy an offensive touchdown until garbage time, when the game was all but over.

The Jets’ defense scored as many touchdowns as their offence.

The game featured more putrid offense from the Jets and an unbelievable play to end the first half, even by Jets standards.

The loss drops the Jets to 4-7, putting their playoff hopes on life support.

The Dolphins improved to 8-3 as they close in on an AFC East crown.
