Cincinnati Bengals punter Kevin Huber pulled off a sweet move to avoid getting his kick blocked during Sunday’s preseason game against Washington.
Huber was preparing for a punt in the third quarter but noticed a Washington player approaching quickly. Instead of punting straight into his opponent and having his kick blocked, he did a fake by going around the back:

Huber tried to break free and started running, but he was quickly tackled. Even if he was unable to turn the fake into a gain, he still did an excellent job to avoid having the punt blocked. Madden needs to raise his score for “awareness” after that.
