Now Randall Cunningham, playing for Buddy Ryan and the Eagles, famously had a 91 yard punt from his own 2 yard line (rolling a good part of the way), to the Giants 7 yard line. I am not sure if that was a quick kick on 3rd down or was 4th down in punting formation, but obviously Cunningham wasn't the normal punter, so makes me think it was 3rd down and that surprise might have been why it rolled for a good distance (because no one was back to receive the punt). I don't know though.
And yes, Willie Gault was the receiver. He was an Olympian sprinter right?
