Generally, the last thing you want to see as a football team is your punter. If your punter’s on the field, it’s an acknowledgment the offense failed, and you’re playing the field position battle. When it comes to Bills’ rookie Matt Araiza — often known as the “Punt God” to football fans — Buffalo might have a punter they’ll come to enjoy watching.
During the Bills’ preseason matchup against the Colts (-1.5), a stalled-out late second-quarter possession brought Araiza onto the field. Rather than hope for a good roll or a normal booming kick, the rookie let off an absolute 82-yard bomb from Buffalo’s eight-yard line.
