((HT: NFL Network))
The HQ gives Brad Nessler a lot of credit- more than just liking his work in the booth...
At the end of the first half of last night's San Fran-St. Louis game, he presented the option of a free kick after a fair catch for the Niners to add more points on the board before the half...
So, Jim Harbaugh trots out Phil Dawson for a 71-yard free kick...
Eh... it was a good idea...
The last time a kicker tried it was December 28, 2008, when the Packers’ Mason Crosby missed a 69-yarder against Detroit.
The last field goal off a free kick was on November 21, 1976, when the Chargers’ Ray Wersching hit a 45-yarder against Buffalo.
So, there you go...
And the HQ does not get all the blowing up on the Twitter machine over this being a bad idea...
