WATCH: Travis Benjamin’s Punt Return Results In Embarrassing Safety

Los Angles Chargers receiver Travis Benjamin arguably made one of the worst plays in football history when he decided to run to during a punt return in the second quarter of Sunday’s game. Not only did he lose 8 yards for his team, it also resulted in a safety for the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
If dropping the return at his own 11-yard line wasn’t enough, Benjamin picked up the bouncing ball and ran backwards into the end zone. That’s where he got tackled behind the goal line, bringing the Patriots to a 9 to 7 advantage.

Previously, the score was tied at 7 to 7. The Patriots wound up winning the match 21 to 13.
Benjamin did not immediately respond to the gaffe on social media.
Twitter users, however, had plenty to say. Some of their comments have been shared below:
