Mark Sanchez delivers Butt Fumble of broadcasting calls during Falcons-Rams

There are several ways to describe an offensive lineman doing his job well, but Mark Sanchez might have found the weirdest way to do it during Sunday's game between the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams.

"I mean, Shelton's clearing out defenders faster than a teenager clears his search history on his web browser. Holy smokes."

We'll have to wait and see if the network has any issues with its commentator using an internet pornography analogy. In the meantime, we can enjoy even more demonstrations of how Sanchez's brain works:
