With the wind gusting to 60 mph, Cleveland's Dave Zastudil punted five times for 265 yards for a single-game career-best 53.0 average and a single-game career-best 52.8 net average. The Elias Sports Bureau said his net is a single-game team record dating back to 1970, when the league began recording opposing return yards.
The seven-year veteran from Bay Village said the conditions ranked his top three worst all time, including two last year, in a blizzard against Buffalo and in windy Cincinnati.
"Best game I've ever had," Zastudil said. "You can't try to overkick it. Just make sure you drop the ball a little lower, hold onto it a little longer because you know the ball's going to move. I just tried to do that and stay short on my steps and drive the ball. If you hit a solid ball, it will cut through that wind."
See! There's always a silver(back) lining!
