    Well, I agree with the CFN guy who said it was genius. He was a way of saying let's play ball and have fun after an incredibly trying week. And it worked. :hihi:

    I have to say though that I've seen a few other trick plays that were just as precarious in my life but none more precarious. I'll never forget being at a Saints game back in the late 60's, I believe the opponent was Cleveland. The Saints had cut the Browns lead to about 3 points and then held them inside their 10 on the next possession. On the punt the Saints set up a return and all of the players hustled downfield to block, but the punter saw this and waited a second then ran for the first down and out of bouds before anyone could hit him, ballgame.

    Another time, the Cardinals ran a statue of liberty type play on a punt only with the handoff in front and Jackie Smith ran all the way for a TD.
