    In over 50 years of watching football never heard of this rule.

    There are a lot of obscure rules on the books.

    Jim Harbaugh has attempted it before when he coached the 49ers but Dicker's kick last night was the first successful one since 1976.

    I originally thought it had to be a drop kick, and you weren't allowed to use a holder. That's probably because they did it that way in the old days for some reason. That was pretty cool that we got to see a rarity in the NFL last night.

    I remember when Belichick had Doug Flutie do a drop kick that was good maybe 20 years ago.
