Sunday's Craziest Play: Fasano Scores TD from Ground off Deflected Pass vs. Jets

This pretty much sums up how the New York Jets' season is going.

Jets linebacker Calvin Pace was able to get his hands up and deflect Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith's pass, but the ball somehow went right to Chiefs tight end Anthony Fasano, who was on his backside. Fasano made the catch and crossed the goal line for the touchdown before a Jets player could get to him.

Upon further review, the touchdown was upheld. Fasano's two-yard score gave the Chiefs a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter.

After the game, both sides were in agreement that there was nothing more to the play than luck.

"It just popped into my hands," Fasano said, per Brendan Kuty of NJ.com. "Never, nope and I’ll probably never get one [a catch like that] again."

Pace, the man who deflected the pass to Fasano, called it a "lucky play." The New York linebacker also expected the tight end to be ruled down while he was on the ground.

"You would think the referee would call him down, but he didn’t,” Pace said. “So I don’t know. Same old, same old."

Of course, that never happened. 

Jets coach Rex Ryan thought the quirky play was indicative of how the team's season has played out.

"I thought that was typical of how the season has gone for us,” Ryan said.

With the 24-10 loss, the Jets dropped their eighth straight game to fall to 1-8 on the season.
