Video: Shane Lechler’s amazing 80-yard (on the fly) punt
Punts of 80 yards or more are rare. When they do occur, they tend to be more fluky than anything. Sure, it takes a big leg to kick the ball that far, but most punts of staggering yardage tend to be aided by big bounces and long rolls. Not this one.
In Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, Oakland Raiders punter Shane Lechler, the NFL all-time leader in punting average, booted...

Ailene Voisin: Lechler's 80-yard punt one for the books

Raiders P Shane Lechler Unlikely To Challenge Bears KR Devin Hester
In a bit of gamesmanship, Lovie Smith, who has the luxury that is Devin Hester, recently extolled the virtues of kicking to punt returners. Smith's efforts to goad Oakland into kicking to the NFL-record holder in punt-return touchdowns (12) might work -- if it were up to the Raiders on the punt-coverage team. But punter Shane Lechler has a little bigger say, being the one who...

McAfee wants to be the best
Pat McAfee has lofty goals--to beat Shane Lechler's record:
Guy was punting's gold standard while playing for the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders from 1973-86, but Lechler, also a Raider, is the man today. His 47.5-yard career average is 5 yards better than Guy's. It's the best in league history.
McAfee's 47.4-yard season average is a glimmer of light in a dismal...

Video: Chargers go back to the schoolyard on punt return

To combat that, the Chargers were aggressive early, running a trick play on the very first punt.
They went back to the schoolyard for this one, and it worked. The lateral...
