Teammates quick to rip Johnson Bademosi’s sideline flop
During a frigid Patriots regular season finale against the Jets, television cameras caught a forgettable moment for special teams player Johnson Bademosi on Sunday.
When Jets receiver Robby Anderson spiked the ball on the Patriots’ sideline, it bounced up and hit Bademosi in the chin. After hesitating, Bademosi fell to the ground in what appeared to be a flop.

Afterward, Patriots safety Duron Harmon called it the “flop of the year”:

Bademosi also joked about it afterward.
“I’m all right. I got hit by the ball a little bit, but I’m doing OK. I think I’ll be all right. I just got adjusted by the chiropractor,” he told ESPN.
