Giants Don Chandler 67-yard punt in 1958

Post by Wendell02 »

This was the longest punt of 1958 and I'm trying to find the game in which it occurred. I've checked 5 game books and it didn't happen in these:
10/5 at Philadelphia
10/12 at Washington
11/23 vs Washington
11/30 vs Philadelphia
12/7 at Detroit

Possible games are:
9/28 at Cardinals
10/19 vs Cardinals
10/26 vs Pittsburgh
11/2 at Cleveland
11/9 vs Baltimore
11/16 at Pittsburgh
12/14 vs Cleveland

Any information is appreciated.

John Grasso, author of the Historical Dictionary of Football, asked me to tell you that it was the November 16 game at Pittsburgh. At season's end, the Baltimore Evening Sun of December 17, 1958 listed it as the longest punt of the season. You can reach John at jgrasso@frontiernet.net
