On December 1, 2019, the Miami Dolphins pulled off one of the best fake field goals in NFL history. The play, dubbed “Mountaineer Shot” in the playbook, resulted in the league’s first kicker touchdown reception since 1977, the first completed pass between two specialists since 2004, and the first punter to kicker touchdown pass since 1964 (and that is a technicality because the (then) San Diego Chargers’ punter John Hadly was also their quarterback and their kicker Keith Lincoln was also a running back). It was a historic play.
News on Friday morning that the Dolphins were adding punter Michael Palardy seems to indicate that half of the Moutaineer Shot touchdown pass was now heading out of South Florida.
