(It should be mentioned that in Week 1 of the 1999 season, Tom Tupa attempted 10 passes and punted three times for the New York Jets against the New England Patriots, which just missed the cut).

Per Pro Football Reference, Barkley became the first NFL player to attempt at least 10 passes and four punts in the same game since Blair Kiel did it for the Indianapolis Colts in a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 18, 1987. Maybe he was The Punt God all along! /obWSUuXOU4īarkley also completed nine of 13 passes for 100 yards, which put him in rare company - at least, in the NFL’s modern era. Matt Barkley’s second punt is a 53-yard coffin corner job, pinning the Panthers inside their own 10-yard line. He punted four times in Buffalo’s 21-0 loss, averaging 40 yards per punt, and nailing this 53-yard coffin corner shot. This led to a pregame situation in which safety Micah Hyde, and backup quarterbacks Case Keenum and Matt Barkley, competed to fill the punter’s role for the game.īarkley won out, and availed himself pretty well. Another not-so-great moment was the decision earlier in the week to release punter Matt Haack, which left no punter on the roster for the Panthers game.
Why Araiza was still on the team was a mystery ( though he isn’t anymore), and McDermott completely whiffed in his postgame press conference when he tried to both-sides the whole situation, extending “thoughts and prayers” to the alleged victim… and to Araiza himself. The reasoning was sound enough, given the lawsuit filed by a woman in San Diego Super Court this week, accusing Araiza and two other current and former San Diego State players of rape, false imprisonment and gender-violence crimes.
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott made the decision on Friday for his team’s game against the Carolina Panthers to sit rookie punter Matt Araiza.
