The Dolphins produced one of the most comical NFL plays in recent memory during their 21-19 Week 3 victory over the Bills: the "butt punt."The Dolphins were nursing a 21-17 lead with 1:33 left in the game but had been stopped on their own 1-yard line. That meantMiami punter Thomas Morstead had very Dick Butkus Jersey little room to maneuver within while punting out of the back of his own end-zone.Morstead's punt ended up launching off the behind of one of his personal protectors, Trent Sherfield, and it went out of bounds for a safety.THE PUNT GOES OUT THE REAR OF THE END ZONE! : on CBS: Stream on NFL+ NFL (@NFL) Naturally, the play Margus Hunt Jersey captured the attention of the NFL world, with many comparing it to Mark Sanchez's infamous "butt fumble." That prompted many discu sions about the play, including one on "Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli."MORE: The Manning brother brought on former Colts punter turned media personality Pat McAfee to break down the play. So, during the second quarter of the Cowboys vs. Giants "Monday Night Football" game, McAfee explained exactly what caused the butt punt to unfold in the way that it did.. breaking down the Butt Punt is hilarious ESPN (@espn) McAfee began by explaining that Sherfield had to have one objective in his protection of Morstead. Make sure nobody gets to him, but don Darrynton Evans Jersey 't back up. He couldn't quite manage that."You can't back up there," McAfee said. "He was backing up on the play . He was basically running his a s into that ball at the same time.And obviously, it's not good for anybody."However, as McAfee noted, Miami may have been a bit lucky that the ball floated harmle sly out of bounds after it struck Sherfield's backside."If that thing is like two feet shorter off the a s of that man, it's a touchdown, not a safety," he Scott Daly Jersey explained. "That's a game changer for the Bills."NFL POWER RANKINGS: The safety allowed the Bills to claw within two points of the Dolphins and set up a chance that they could mount a last-second field goal drive to earn the victory. While that wasn't ideal, the lead would have changed hands if the Bills had recovered the botched kick.So, while the play Byron Cowart Jersey might not be the prettiest for Morstead and Sherfield, there was only one stat that mattered, in McAfee's opinion.His cheeks are probably a little bruised up; the stats are not great, but they get a win.Indeed, that win was important, as it catapulted the Dolphins over the Bills in the AFC East standings thanks to their 3-0 record. They now stand as the only undefeated team in the AFC, and that will help the embarra sment of thebutt punt to sting just a bit le s.
