Inane Trivia extended!

Post by Bryan »

This player returned a punt 90 yards for a TD and a missed FG 99 yards for a TD. Name the player. (I believe its the only player in history with a 90+ yard punt return TD and a 90+ yard FG return TD).

I was gonna say Timmy Brown, one of my all-time faves, but only because I remember him returning a missed FG 99 yds and he also had a bunch of ko/punt returns for scores. Is it Hester?

Gotta say that if somebody knows this - that's pretty impressive.

I'm hoping the answer is Super Gnat - Noland Smith because that would be pretty awesome if it was Super Gnat. Or Billy White Shoes Johnson.

Wendell02 is right---Carl Taseff w/ Colts in 1956 (90 yd PR) and '59 (99-yd FG return). Interestingly, Taseff had a 96-yd FG return TD in '56. That's a pretty rare play---and the opportunities have dwindled immensely as FG kicking has become much more accurate since Taseff's day. Wonder if Taseff's 2 scores returning missed FGs are a record?
