Punt Hits Video Screen During Stadium Debut

The newest stadium in all of football hosted its first game and promptly created some new worries.

AJ Trapasso, rookie punter for the visiting Tennessee Titans, booted a punt practically straight up and the ball preceded to hit the 60 yard long video screen before deflecting backwards while still in play.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher threw his red flag and challenged the play, and officials sorted out the debacle and concluded the ball was dead, and the fourth down would be replayed.

While the next kick did not have interference with the screen it is said that pregame several kicks hit the screen, and there are concerns that it may have to be raised.
