Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse really did have good intentions when he picked up a fumble in the fourth quarter and ran.
It just didn’t quite work out the way he envisioned it would in his mind’s eye.
Ndamukong Suh strip-sacked Derek Carr, and Newhouse scooped up the ball. He should have just fallen on it. But alas, he had bigger things on his mind. The fat man did run, and then the fat man did fly. It turned into two fumbles on one play for Oakland, and Miami came up with the second loose ball.
One Play.
Two Fumbles.Our ball going the other way! #OAKvsMIA | @SNFonNBC https://t.co/LaHJk0WiyM

Newhouse’s trip through the air really does deserve another look, no?

This was a comedy of errors that Twitter had some funny reactions to.
I can't stop watching this. @MNewhouse74 is my hero. Trying to switch the ball to the other hand. Amazing https://t.co/2ujnCHTEi7

Marshall Newhouse: not a running back

Marshall Newhouse had visions of the most amazing fat guy touchdown ever. That ended quickly.

It really was a valiant effort. It just didn’t work out too well for the big fella.
