How to use "Fumble" in context?
The word "fumble" is defined as a physical mistake made while trying to do something. This can be a basic mistake such as dropping a ball, or it can be more complex, such as when a quarterback throws the ball too high and it is intercepted by the defense. The fumble can also be caused by a player trying to protect the ball from being taken away by the opposing team. Regardless of the cause, a fumble is an embarrassing mistake that can cost the team points.
