The Los Angeles Rams held off the Seattle Seahawks in a showdown for first place in the NFC West on Sunday, and a punt served as the play of the game.
Leading 21-19 with 1:50 remaining, the Rams had fourth-and-10 at their own 49-yard line. Ethan Evans proceeded to show off an elite “coffin corner” ability with an absolutely incredible punt inside the one-yard line.
Fox announcers Joe Davis and Greg Olsen couldn’t believe it.
The mind-blowing, essentially game-saving punt from Rams punter Ethan Evans.

“And out of bounds inside the one!” Davis said.
“Wow!’ Olsen responded.
“Ethan Evans!” Davis continued. “There’s no way he’s ever made a better punt!”
“You couldn’t walk and place the ball in a better spot for that moment!” Olsen said. “Oh my gosh!”
“That’s a hole in one!” Davis said.
“That looks like if you hit a 56-degree (wedge) from about 110,” Olsen said.
“Wow!” Davis said after seeing the replay.
“Oh my god!” Olsen said. “Remember, if it hits the pylon, it would’ve been a touchback. He missed the pylon by about six inches.”
So, the Seahawks’ offense had to begin the ensuing drive at their own one-yard line and with 1:41 remaining (and with one timeout). Seattle put together a 10-play, 56-yard drive, but that resulted in a 61-yard field goal try in the final seconds. Jason Myers’ kick was no good, and the Rams came away with a 21-19 win.

Had Evans not pinned the Seahawks inside the one-yard line, it’s very possible Seattle would have entered much more makeable field goal range.
The Rams improve to 8-2 with the win, while the Seahawks fall to 7-3 with the loss. Evans’ punt could end up being a massive moment in the NFC West title race this season.
