Overview
- Against the Raiders, Crawshaw posted punts of 30, 51, 36, 38 and 39 yards, including a mis-kick shown on replay with just 1.56 seconds of hang time.
- Al Michaels reacted audibly on the Prime Video broadcast as home fans booed and social media labeled the display a case of the yips.
- After the game, Payton said the issue was the ball drop off Crawshaw’s hands rather than contact off the foot, downplaying wind as the primary factor.
- Raiders counterpart AJ Cole repeatedly pinned Denver near its 1-yard line, highlighting a stark special teams contrast in the nationally televised game.
- Denver won 10-7, and Crawshaw later added a 54-yard punt, though the outing renewed scrutiny despite his strong season to date as the NFL’s lone drafted punter in 2025.
