Brady's other quick kick came against the Bills on Dec. 29, 2013.
And against Miami December 2003

From Chris Willis' book The NFL's 60-Minute Men, page 80:
"...Lewellen punted 84 times in 1929. The breakdown was: 1st down (24 times); 2nd down (8); 3rd down (27); and 4th down (25)."

That gives us some idea of the ratio of punts/down during the time in which punting was used to establish field position.

D'oh! I should've remembered that; I read the book just last week.

Anyway, it's just exactly what this discussion needed.
