The New York Giants had been pitching a shutout against the Philadelphia Eagles, until Steve Weatherford set back the "punters are people too" movement by 20 years.
Giants high snap leads to touchdown for Eagles
Steve Weatherford needs to ask for forgiveness from his fellow punters.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It’s a high snap that sails about 10 yards over his head, that much can’t be blamed on Weatherford -- but why in the world didn’t he just dive on the ball or kick it out of the end zone for a safety? Instead he elects to try the under-utilized “crab walk over the ball” method, which results in an Eagles touchdown.
Suddenly an easy victory doesn’t look quite so easy. The Giants currently lead 15-7 with just over three minutes left in the game, and another touchdown might be enough to flip this game on its head.
