One Slight Problem with the Amusing Anecdote about the 11-Yard Punt

edit

Jerry DePoyster played in 27 games for the Raiders in 1971 and 1972, but only once against the New York Jets. The Jets scored one touchdown (along with 3 field goals) during their December 11, 1972 battle with the Raiders in Oakland, which the Raiders won 24-16. That touchdown was not on a 13 yard punt return. It wasn't on special teams at all: Joe Namath threw a 49 yard pass to Rich Caster.

However, in the 1972 season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, DePoyster did have a punt blocked and returned 5 yards for a touchdown.
