The NFL’s first, and likely best, punt of the season went 78 glorious yards off Bradley Pinion’s foot

We love a good punt here at For The Win.

Unfortunately, for the rest of the NFL, no other punts will compare to the first one of the season from Bradley Pinion of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Why, you ask? Because this glorious, glorious corner punt went a total of 78 yards and pinned the Dallas Cowboys at the two-yard line within the first three minutes of the 2021 season opener.

After a failed first drive by Tom Brady and the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, Pinion was able to stuff the Cowboys deep in their own zone with this incredible punt which will likely end up being the best one we see this year!

We’ve seen some great punts already in the preseason but we’ve officially started the 2021 NFL season right thanks to this beauty from Pinion. NFL fans on Twitter were just as hype about the proceedings, as you’d expect!
