Football coaches stress that all three phases of the game matter: Offense, defense, and special teams.
The Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots are proving that today on this NFL Sunday.
After the Dolphins held the Patriots to just a single yard on a 3rd-and-26 play from deep in their own territory, punter Bryce Baringer came on to punt from the shadow of his own goalpost.
Settling in under the punt on the other end of the field was Miami returner Malik Washington, who promptly did … this:
MALIK WASHINGTON TAKES THE PUNT ALL THE WAY! WHAT A RETURN.

Football may be a physical, collision game.
But it is also a mental game. You need to know the rules every time you are on the field, and even when you are watching from the sidelines.
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson learned that lesson the hard way against the Seattle Seahawks.
After a Seattle field goal gave the visiting Seahawks a 17-14 lead, kicker Jason Myers teed up the football for the ensuing kickoff. His kick landed in the landing area required under the new kickoff rules, bouncing down around the 15-yard line before caroming towards Johnson.
Congratulations, college football fanatics! We have officially made it through a quarter of the season!
Don’t worry about those white knuckles, they’ll go away in January.
After yesterday’s slate, we are three games into the 2025 campaign, and it’s safe to say no one knows anything.
Based on what we thought heading into the season, it was a forgone conclusion that Texas would win the SEC, Clemson would dominate the ACC, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were a shoo-in to make another deep playoff run.
Update: Justin Fields has now gone to the locker room and will be evaluated for a concussion. All signs point to his day being done at this point in the game. Tyrod Taylor continues to play in his absence down 3-30 in the fourth quarter.
Justin Fields is being evaluated for a concussion.
Tyrod Taylor is in at QB.

The New York Jets and Justin Fields are absolutely getting walloped by the Buffalo Bills and now they add injury to insult, as DE Joey Bosa hit QB Justin Fields with force, sending him to the sidelines and the medical tent.

Multiple NFL teams hosting home games during the 1 p.m. window of Sunday’s schedule conducted pregame tributes to slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. And the reactions in the stadiums were generally welcoming.
The Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys held moments of silence in honor of Kirk.
All put Kirk’s photo on their video boards and asked the home crowd to stand and pay respects in the wake of Kirk’s shooting last week.
