VIDEO: Joe McKnight Kickoff Return Answers Baltimore Touchdown Immediately

After the Baltimore Ravens returned a Mark Sanchez fumble for a touchdown in the first quarter of Sunday Night Football, the New York Jets didn't even bother bringing their offense out onto the field. Well, not by design, but thanks to Joe McKnight, Sanchez didn't have to answer the Ravens' early score by himself.

Instead, just moments after the Ravens took a 7-0 lead, McKnight fielded the ensuing kickoff in his own end zone, found a large crease and outran the defense 107 yards for the score. These new kickoff rules are kinda terrible, aren’t they?

McKnight nearly got hauled down from behind at the end of the run, but managed to evade the closing Ravens to stumble into the end zone for the score. And just seconds of game time after the Ravens took the lead, the Jets were back on the board like there was nothing to it.
