Fox News on Friday published a feature revisiting five plays that its headline describes as "unluckiest plays in sports history," marking Friday the 13th. The headline presents the piece as a retrospective, describing the plays as ones to revisit rather than new events.
According to Fox News, the feature's summary names two of the five plays: Leon Lett's Super Bowl fumble and the Kick Six. The summary does not name the remaining three plays, and it does not describe any of the five in detail.
Fox News's summary also argues that the reputation of Friday the 13th as an unlucky day is outdone by the cruelest moments in sports history, and it presents the five plays as support for that point. The summary does not explain the origins of the date's reputation or identify any sports history beyond the plays it names.
The feature's metadata lists its publication date as Friday, November 13, 2026, which is the same day as the holiday it marks. The piece carries no named author in the material reviewed for this report, and no dateline or location is attributed to the plays.
Readers seeking the details of each play will need to consult the full article, since the headline and summary only introduce the list. The article is filed under the outkick-sports section of the Fox News website and can be read in full through Fox News's full article on the five plays.
