Stud No. 4 – Tress Way

The man. The myth. The legend. Tress Way strengthened his bid for the NFL MVP award again versus the 49ers. He might as well have had a beach chair and sunglasses on Sunday, because aside from a wobbly first punt, he played like he was in prime summer weather, booting kicks deep down the field as he’s been known to do.

Overall, Way punted just four times, due to the longer nature of the drives, and on those four punts, Way logged 198 total punting yards, for an average of nearly 50 yards per punt. His longest punt, in the wind and the rain, was a 57-yarder that helped flip the field in the second half.

It’s been a common theme in this article, but every yard counted in this one, and Tress Way did his part to pit the 49ers offense back in their own territory. The Redskins couldn’t afford to give them one free yard, and Tress Way, at the very least, held up his end of the bargain.

How’s it feel to still have the best punter in the NFL? You guys excited?
