Have 2 teams ever combined for over 800 yards punting like the Vikings and Raiders just did?!

ESPN Boxscore

These are supposed to be professionals...did they decide they wanted to one up that god awful LA/New England game last week?

It does happen every few years. The NFL record for combined punt yardage is 1,075

What is more remarkable is the single game record for one punter-- 709 yards on his own.

Centenary and Texas Tech scoff at this.

11/09/39
77 combined punts
2,625 combined punting yards

Of the 77 punts, 4 were blocked and 14 were fumbled. But despite that, the game ended in a 0-0 tie.

Did they even run a play that wasn't a punt? I mean, how do you punt 77 times in a game and have time to run anything else?

They did not. This was back in the era where offenses couldn’t drive and punting gained field position, so they basically punted back and forth hoping the other team would drop the ball
