Watch: Dismal Super Bowl Gets Brief Spark from Astonishing Record-Breaking Punt
Well… this is different.
After some high-scoring playoff games this year and some high-scoring Super Bowls in recent years, Super Bowl LIII has turned into quite the defensive struggle.
Or is it just struggle?
For some fans, Super Bowl LIII has been a callback to the glory days of NFL defense.
For most fans, Super Bowl LIII has been an utter snore with the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams tied at 3-3 deep in the third quarter.
If you need any proof that this Super Bowl has been a bore, look no further than what many people feel like is the most exciting play of the game.
The longest punt in @SuperBowl history now belongs to @JHekker!
65 yards!

In and of itself, it’s kind of cool that Rams punter Johnny Hekker now has the record for longest punt in Super Bowl history when he blasted a 65-yard punt.
It’s a neat little bit of trivia.
It should not be the most exciting play of the NFL’s premiere game.
