N/S MNF: Seahawks vs Lions (1 Viewer)

Do they not punt anymore after a safety or is that a part of the new kickoff rules?

What I missed that? A new deal after a safety? No free kick?

St. Brown with the toe tap to keep Goff’s completion record perfect.

Yeah but the question is will it be considered as a record? You know the NFL got to change rules or have rules that no one ever heard before.

I thought Brandon Browner was out of the league.

Now there's a name.

ETA: I wonder if San Quentin has a football team.

That will do it

Kicker used a tee but looked further back.

Gotcha thank you.

I may be wrong, but I think at least back in 80’s you could always use a tee to kick after a safety. The reason for the punt was that there was no chance of a touchback off a tee and the hang time of the punt made it worth punting. Since the kicking team can’t get a running start anymore, it would make sense to use a tee and just kick it as far as possible. Hang time is irrelevant now. But I could be mistaken. Perhaps the rule was changed at some point that tee’s weren’t an option on safeties.

Lions still have a tough schedule. After the bye four road games in five weeks. Then three home games but two against GB and Buffalo followed by two road games including SF.
