Recently, the NFL has seen an odd uptick in one of the weirdest plays involved in football. Players have been dropping the football just a second before crossing the goal-line. The blunder has been happening for quite awhile, but the occurrences of it has had an ebb and flow.

Everyone remembers DeSean Jackson's fumble just before scoring back in the day. That is probably the most memorable. Over the years, a lot of players have added their name to that not-so-prestigious list.

One of the most outspoken players for the New Orleans Saints discussed how he felt about players making the hilarious mistake.  

Saunders talks fumbles

The funniest piece of the Saints defense decided to discuss the recent fumbles that have many fans and analysts scratching their heads.

Or.. (just hear me out) you can just hold the ball literally for another 1 second and run yo dumbass past the goal line.. lmao like what are we even talking about.

If LeBron got a steal & fast break nobody in his path and he misses the dunk.. that shit doesn’t count for 2 still — Khalen Saunders

The latest victims of the blunder are Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Jordan Battle and Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. 

The DB? I understand, to a degree. There's tons of excitement, and Battle got caught up in the moment. He still should have kept hold of the ball for another second, but he's got a small excuse since he is never in that position, nearly. 

Taylor's excuse? Doesn't have one! That is one of the best running backs in football. He's carried the football across that goal line a ton of times, including his stardom in college. 

Saunders is completely accurate in his assessment that there is a reason the play does not count for six points. You've gotta finish the job if you want the credit and the touchdown.
