It’s been a long year for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We’re almost at the midway point, and the team is just 2-5, casting doubt about Doug Pederson’s future and Trevor Lawrence’s viability as a franchise quarterback in the long term.
So, I don’t joke or say this lightly, Jaguars fans: a booming punt might legitimately be the highlight of your team’s entire season.
As the Jaguars battled the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, Jacksonville punter Logan Cooke let one fly from near his own end zone. He ended up launching the ball an astonishing 64 yards in the air before it took one friendly bounce to pin the Packers at their own two-yard line.
That’s right, folks. Cooke cooked up a 73-yard punt. Holy cow:

I don’t normally say about this special teams plays, but given how bad the Jaguars are, they really should hang their hat on ridiculous punts like this. After all, what else will they have to celebrate?
