Redskins Pull Off The Rare Fake FG/Fake Punt/TD Pass Play
↵It is amazing that play worked for several reasons:
↵1) The Skins tipped their hand. What you don’t see in that video is that the Skins went into motion with the kicker moving to the slot and the holder — punter Hunter Smith — dropping back in the QB position before realizing they had 10 men on the field and calling timeout. They came back and still ran the original play call. In other words, the Broncos already knew a trick play was coming.
↵2) Smith had to throw the ball about 50 yards when you factor in field width. Not something you’d expect a punter to be capable of doing.
↵3) This is the 2009 Redskins.
