I'm sure that's with the roll.

P: O’Neal—in only his second pro game, hit still-standing NFL-record 98-yard punt.
Must have been a situation were they brought all 11 after a punt from the endzone, and the ball rolled all the way to the other endzone.
gap
Edit: Did they have a touch-back rule then for kicks into the endzone? The lack of a touch-back rule might have placed the ball just outside the endzone.
It is still a damn. How long can a ball roll for? like 30 yds? Its still a 68 yd punt.Quote:
