The next day, America would never be the same.

Kicked it around the 1, lands on the 19. 80 yards in the air - that was impressive.

9/10/2001 - the day before the world would change forever

*I was at Yankee Stadium when this game was played. The Yankees were supposed to play the Red Sox that night, but they were rained out. It was going to be Roger Clemens against Pedro Martinez. So I went to Stan's across the street to watch the Giants blow this game. Ed McCaffrey broke his leg. Then I went to work. The next morning was 9/11.*

Rodney was Kicking like this back in High School. Had to be there to see it WOW !! SWD

Man, I was so excited for Williams after this - too bad he struggled to get it away in time too often. Dude had an insane leg.

For the life of me, I cannot remember Rodney Williams lol

You took the words right out of my keyboard,ericradford,but that was still a boomer.NINETY-ONE yards,EIGHTY in the air. Probably the NFL'S most powerful punt ever.

Day before 9/11

Everytime I tell people, yeah Rodney Williams from GT had a huge punt for the Giants! 90+ yards!? Then I look up the play, find it here, and remember exactly what day it was just by seeing that field and knowing the broadcast... and then go… “Oh shittttt that’s right..” 😢🤯

Remember that he broke his hand and they had him punting with it wrapped He also ran a 4.5 40 but fucked up and decided to fake and run for a first on his own

A day before disaster

I totally forgot this game was on September TENTH. Remembered the punt, just forgot WHEN it actually happened. Ugh. :(

Back when Al Michaels actually cared.

I remember this game. I remember Shaun Williams' hit on Ed McCaffrey. And I remember this punt by this rookie. Thought he'd be punting bombs for a long time.

I'll never forget. Watching this on afn and riding in the Mediterranean to Gaeta Italy. That next morning in Port the towers came down in New York city

Williams was the fourth black punter in NFL history,and this was (I believe) the fourth 90-yard or farther punt.

Awesome video. Thanks for the great comments guys. I can tell you it was more of a great kick than it was the air or wind. The return man, Delta O'Neal was one of the best at the time and he judged the kick the best he could. Check the history, more punts over 50 yards than any other punter in an NFL season.

this was the day before 9/11, wow

Wasn't this game the day before 9/11?

He would have been greater than Ray Guy. Every year at GT he did it every weekend!!

Like Ray Guy 0:52

80 yards on the fly.

I remember watching that game. I was in shock like did that just happen and it took a minute to register. Randall Cunningham might be the greatest black punter

I still remember watching this game. Read up about him (black punter - caught my eye). Turns out he had some accident or another in HS which gave the options of quitting football altogether or being its punter. Well, he got himself to the NFL. Commentators believed his athleticism could allow great fake punt opportunities. Was kinda surprised his career didn't pan out too well.

You can definitely blame the Mile High air for this one.

What happened to this power punter?

Of course greedy NFL has to place an ad on a 56 second video 🙄.
