Jets’ ‘horrible’ season contributed to Mark Sanchez and Eva Longoria’s split: report

Perhaps Mark Sanchez was a little too “focused on football” to keep Eva Longoria happy.

The Jets QB and the former “Desperate Housewives” star ended their romance last week. Sources told Page Six that while the quarterback was “really upset about the breakup” and “tried everything he could to make [Eva] happy…. the problem was Mark is very focused on football while Eva is a busy businesswoman.”

But TMZ claims that the pair split because Sanchez was down in the dumps over a less than stellar football season. (The Jets are 3-4 after a loss to the Patriots in overtime last Sunday.)

“Mark was impossible for Eva to be around because he was in such a crappy mood over the NY Jets’ horrible season,” the gossip site writes.

TMZ’s source says: “It’s hard to maintain a relationship when one person is upset all the time.”

Sanchez’s rep insists the split was amicable, telling Page Six, “It was really more about scheduling . . . they will remain close friends.”

The couple had been dating since the summer, and were first seen together in June, partying in the West Village.
