Which game was this?

October 31, 2007 2:30 AM

I saw a highlight of a pro football game this past Sunday (Oct. 28th) that featured a muffed punt. The kicker made a really awkward attempt to recover the ball, but the other team got it and scored a touchdown. I don't know which teams played in this game, the channel that showed the clip, or where it originally aired. Anybody know which game this was, or even better knows of a video link to the play in question?

I distinctly remember one of the commentators calling the punter "unathletic" and that he doesn't speak to kickers.

Thanks, this had been driving me bonkers.

You can see it about 35 seconds into the first video on this page, if you haven't found it elsewhere.

Not adding any helpful, but I saw that too and I remember thinking to myself "how hard is it to fall on a football?"

That's not a muffed punt, just FYI. That's just a bad snap. A muffed punt is when the returner tries to catch it but fails and it bounces off of him to the ground.
