In his NFL debut, Cincinnati Bengals punter Ryan Rehkow made history by executing an 80-yard punt, setting a new franchise record for the longest punt, surpassing the previous record of 75 yards held since 2005. This remarkable kick occurred during the first quarter of the game against the New England Patriots, helping to highlight his potential as a key player for the Bengals, who have struggled with consistency at the punter position since 2022. Rehkow, an undrafted rookie from BYU, won the starting job after a strong training camp and was called upon early in the game when the offense struggled to gain yardage. His average of 62.7 yards on three punts in the first half indicates a promising start to his professional career. With this performance, Rehkow not only etched his name in Bengals history but also set a potential NFL record for the highest gross punting average in a game with a minimum of four punts, averaging 64.5 yards. The Bengals will look to build on this momentum as they continue their season.
