Redskins reverse field on crazy sack and fumble play

In arguably the most unexpected play during the early games , the Redskins gained nearly 40 yards of scrimmage with a sack that turned into a fumble recovery. Unlike most strip-sacks that net 40 yards, the defender who returned the fumble didn't advance any yards.

If you're wondering how that could possibly happen, just take a look at what could arguably be the craziest individual play of Week 1:

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sacked, he fumbled, the ball was fumbled again, and then one more time before the recovery.

Sacked. Fumbled. Fumbled again. And again... @Redskins recover nearly 40 yards from the line of scrimmage. http://t.co/r9fjN54Gz8
