The punt is the longest in the NFL since 2001 and came late in the first half with Philadelphia clinging to an 8-6 lead.
Braden Mann turned a tight, low-scoring game into a footnote in NFL record books. With under 30 seconds left in the first half and the Eagles backed up deep in their own territory, coach Nick Sirianni sent his punt team out rather than risk anything near his own end zone. Mann answered with an 86-yard boot that flipped the field and then some.
The kick is now the longest punt the league has seen since 2001, a number that stands out even on a day when points were hard to come by. Philadelphia led the Giants 8-6 at the time, a game that had settled into a defensive grind rather than a shootout.
Mann's punt also pushed him close to the Eagles' own franchise record, putting his name near the top of the team's history for the position. For a game defined more by stops than scores, it was the single biggest play either offense produced all afternoon, even though no offense was on the field for it.
