In American
football: when a
punt is muffed by the receiving team and recovered by the punting team for a gain of yardage, equivalent to a deep pass. The opposite of the arm
punt.
The Chiefs' punter
Tommy Townsend punted the ball 50 yards, where it was
dropped by the Patriots' returner and recovered by the Chiefs, resulting in a net gain of 55 yards. Quite the
foot pass by Townsend!
