Giants punter attempts disastrous, illegal kick after ball bounced off ground. It didn't end well

Innovation is usually a good thing on the football field, but New York Giants punter Jamie Gillan got a little too experimental during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With 8:34 remaining in the second quarter, Gillan attempted one of the wildest punts we've ever seen. You should probably just watch the video before we try to explain.

After catching the snap, Gillan dropped the ball to the ground before kicking it. Gillan struck the ball with his left foot, which either hit a defender or barely traveled in the air before it came down.
